Understanding the 'Buffer' Overflow

When you download an HD video, SaveMedia 'Streams' chunks into your browser's internal storage. If that storage is full or 'Fragile,' the browser gives up and crashes the tab to save the operating system. Reducing the number of other background apps is the fastest fix.

Hardware Acceleration

Sometimes your GPU (Graphics Card) tries to help with the download but actually causes a conflict. Turning off 'Use hardware acceleration when available' in your browser's Advanced Settings can often make the downloader 100% stable again.
