How to Download Someone Else's Twitch Videos

Twitch Leecher is a free program designed specifically to download videos from Twitch. It's a third party app, which means that it is in no way endorsed or supported by Twitch, but it is very well designed and boasts a clean interface that makes it significantly less intimidating when compared to other such programs.

The best thing about Twitch Leecher is that it can download Twitch videos made by any user on the network. This program is also updated on a very regular basis to keep pace with major Twitch updates and its creator is easy to get in touch with via the links within the app should users have any support requests. Here's how to install Twitch Leecher and begin using it to download Twitch VODs.

  1. Go to the official Twitch Leecher page on GitHub and to get the latest available version of the program. The link should be at the bottom of the latest blog post under the subheading, Downloads. Choose the program link with the .exe extension.

  2. Your computer will now prompt you to either run the program or save it. Click on Run and follow the prompts to install the program on your computer.

  3. After the installation has completed, locate Twitch Leecher by opening up your Windows 10 Start Menu and clicking on the All apps icon in the top-left corner (or All Programs in the lower-left for Windows 10 users). Twitch Leecher should be listed at the top of the next menu with other recently installed programs (if any). It may also be listed in alphabetical order

  4. Click on the Twitch Leecher icon to open the program and then select the Search button in the top menu.

  5. Open up your regular web browser such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, and go to the official Twitch website.

  6. Find the channel of your chosen Twitch streamer either by searching for it in the top search bar or, if you already follow them, via the left Followed Channels menu.

You can also give it a custom filename and choose start and end points for the video. This last option is super-useful as many Twitch videos can be several hours long and will require a lot of memory if saving the entire clip.

  12. Once all of your options are set, select Download. Your video will soon be available in your chosen file location.

Twitch Leecher - New VOD Downloader

Version 1.4.1 is out!

Download here:

Hi,

I know there are many people out there who want to download their past broadcasts and highlights from Twitch.tv. I tried to use many different VOD downloaders. But (without offending anybody) most of those tools are programmed horribly. Since I had problems with recording my stream locally while streaming, I decided to write my own VOD downloader (I am a Software Developer). But now the guys from OBS have fixed all issues in 13.2 and I don't need the software anymore which is a little unfortunate :P

So i decided to make my new tool free, open source and available to everybody. It is the very first release, so there might be bugs in it that I don't know of... just in case.
