OK, now what?
After you download TubeSock, you should copy it to your Applications folder. It will work if you don't, but you'll feel better if you do. Double-click TubeSock to begin. Copy and paste a YouTube URL from your browser, and click "Preview" or "Save".
TubeSock will immediately ask you if you want it to automatically check for updates. This is a good idea, and it sends no private data about you to us, but if it makes you feel queasy, you don't have to.
OK, now what? (Windows version)
After you download the TubeSock setup program, you should run it. It will check for the proper version of the dot net frameworks, and if you don't have it, it will offer to download it for you. After everything is instaled, you'll have a TubeSock icon on your desktop. Double-click the TubeSock icon to begin. Copy and paste a YouTube URL from your browser, and click "Preview" or "Save".
Previewing a video
