It is a really good plugin that drains waaay less memory than the one i used for dling vids before (Video DownloadHelper), but it still eats a lot of memory, more so on video heavy websites such as icanhaz.cheezburger.com, a function, if not for a full disable without restart, at least a some kind of partial disable that shuts down the probing for media links and such (which i suppose would be the cause for the higher memory usage).

Disabling and enabling of course works on a need-to-use basis, but it is a very annoying "quirk" to have to do, even more so if one would be browsing a video heavy site where one might just be interested in downloading one out of 10 videos that might be visible at any moment, or that is not for example YouTube (where a plugin like YouTube Video and Audio Downloader is my absolute nr1 choice.)
