Copy the Vimeo video's link, paste it into Fetchii and press Enter. Unlisted videos download from the full link you were given. If Fetchii says you need to log in, which Vimeo can ask for even on public videos, send the video from a browser where you're signed in to Vimeo.
Step by step
1
Copy the video's link
Copy the address of the video page, for example vimeo.com/123456789. For an unlisted video, copy the whole link you were given, including the code after the number (vimeo.com/123456789/abcdef1234): Vimeo needs it.

Paste it into Fetchii and press Enter
Click the link field at the top of Fetchii's main window, paste and press Enter. The video downloads with your default quality and format. To choose a Quality first, click the options button at the right end of the link field (or press ⌘N) instead.

Videos that need your Vimeo account
Private videos shared with your account, and On Demand videos you bought or rented, need your sign-in. Open the video in a browser where you're signed in to Vimeo, right-click it and choose Download with Fetchii: the Fetchii browser helper passes your Vimeo sign-in along. If a pasted link already failed, click Resolve… on its row, then Retry with Extension.

Questions
Can I download unlisted Vimeo videos?
Yes, with the full link the owner shared, including the code after the video number.
What about password-protected videos?
Fetchii 1.1.2 and later can download them with the password the owner gave you.
