Can you explain your problem better? Because I have no idea what you are talking about. |

I was responding to the original poster, suggesting that he/she use his/her eyes to find the mentioned download link. |

Oh, okay. That's fine then. But I think the problem is he still hasn't found it. Or if he did, he should post saying that he has, or else we get a chain of stupid posts. (Like this one.) |

I believe they may be talking about sites that don't have a download button (IE, Youtube). The content is embedded on the page, however there is no direct way to download built into the site. |

I still dont understand what the problem is. But with many video sites you can download third party programs that download the video onto your computer (although Im unsure of the legality of such issues) |

If you just google, download youtube videos, you get at least 100 different websites that will allow you to download not only yotube content, but some allow content from other sites to be downloaded as well. I think the original topic creator needs to re-post to clarify his question to all of us who desperately want to help but don't have the necessary information.  |

Good luck with that one is all I have to say if that's what he really wants to do. |

lol well technically aren't you downloading it already just by viewing it  |

No, because if you were downloading it, it would be stored on the hard drive. |

But isn't everything you view on the internet saved to your hard drive(temp folder on windows) and i remember reading about being able to download youtube videos on linux by watching them in firefox(assuming other browsers work to) and then keeping the window open and going to the temp folder that you assigned and copying the flash video elsewhere before closing the link. I can't remember for the life of me where i read that though. I think it may have been one of the many linux forums. |

RandomLetters is correct: technically, anything you view with your browser is downloaded. Browsers tend to abuse the word "download" to mean "save to disk". Most (all?) browsers use disk caching; you should be able to find your own disk cache settings under Tools->Options, Edit->Preferences or similar. While this isn't necessarily C:\Temp or /tmp, it often is. Draymire: there's a folder under /tmp that you can copy active flash content out of. |

Flash video players typically stream their movies from .flv source files. Some go to great lengths in order to obfuscate the location in the page's source code (multiple async requests, javascript decoding, validation tokens....), but since the browser needs to be able to figure out where to stream the movie from anyway, just let it do its job. The source file will show up in open connections / page assets. Ultimately though, one could always plug in a recording device instead of a monitor and/or record a screencast. |

Further complicating standard temporary files are in-browser components like Flash, Silverlight, Google Gears, etc. Each of these is typically granted a local storage quota on your hard drive. Silverlight Isolated Storage, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.isolatedstorage.isolatedstorageSettings(VS.95).aspx, defaults to a 1MB in size. Google Gears reserves space on your hard drive and supports the SQLite database, http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_database.html. So there's a lot of temporary files that are easy to find on your file system, and then some that you can't such as what Tony indicates with streaming content, and then proprietary storage systems. It gets messy! |
