With the latest release, the flareGet "Grabber" allows you to choose the video quality as well as the file name: start the grabber, play a video in your browser and the initial quality at which the video is played will show up in flareGet - if you change the quality for the playing video, a new video format for that quality will be available for download in flareGet as you can see in the sreenshots below:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-quality.png" rel="image_group"><img alt="flareGet grabber" src="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-quality_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-download.png" rel="image_group"><img alt="flareGet grabber" src="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-download_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Download flareGet</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">flareGet is available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and other Debian based Linux distributions as well as Fedora, OpenSuse and other RPM based Linux distributions. There are also generic tar.gz files (though this isn't the source as flareGet is not open source) that should work in other Linux distributions.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://flareget.com/download/">Download flareGet</a></b></div>
