What free software programs let me download some videos.
(Yes, some copyright material should not be copied.)
Or is there another way? Can it be a background task?

YTD works but you have to pay attention during install to uncheck bundleware from trying to trick you into installing them.

I found the YTD site.
Look at this warning I got:

The one that I used before is from this url below. You may have gotten it from a YTD wanna-be site that baits people to install junk. Even this one has bundled junk to avoid installing but its the cleanest one I know of. Added spaces in the URL to kill the hyperlink of it to where someone needs to remove spaces or manually type it in to browser to go there. Its a use at own risk program and grayware pretty much since it could be used for wrong, and we are hoping its being used for non copyright use. If you fail to uncheck bundleware through the installation then you will have junk installed along side it. Read Everything and dont just click Next... I think one of the nexts you click cancel and it installs YTD without a junk program that tries to trick you into installing through dark pattern use. I havent used it in quite a while, but remember the installation being one with dark patterns to avoid and having to uncheck or cancel bundleware :-\
Thinking you didnt get the installer from this website but another.

I use the ANT downloader addin for the FireFox browser. I've found very few sites that I couldn't download video from using it.
