----------------------------------- usman tahir Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:46 am tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- some times a file or a book is placed on any page but download option or link doesn't appear with that file of software or book,, how can i find download link or option for that thing ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:55 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- Can you explain your problem better? Because I have no idea what you are talking about. ----------------------------------- rar Thu Jun 10, 2010 11:51 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- With your eyes. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Thu Jun 10, 2010 11:56 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- Nope, still doesn't make sense. ----------------------------------- rar Thu Jun 10, 2010 12:09 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- I was responding to the original poster, suggesting that he/she use his/her eyes to find the mentioned download link. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Thu Jun 10, 2010 2:42 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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.) ----------------------------------- Cezna Thu Jun 10, 2010 2:48 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 6 posts in I still don't understand the question... ----------------------------------- TheGuardian001 Thu Jun 10, 2010 3:07 pm Re: tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Thu Jun 10, 2010 4:15 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- Then why ask on Compsci? ----------------------------------- musicman Thu Jun 10, 2010 4:55 pm Re: tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- why not...theres sure to be a couple smart people around this site.

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) ----------------------------------- Cezna Sat Jun 12, 2010 7:28 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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. :D ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:24 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- If they come back. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun Jun 13, 2010 10:00 am Re: tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- lol @ OP, and the rest of the thread I guess he's looking for a way to download anything referred to on the internet. :roll: ----------------------------------- Cezna Sun Jun 13, 2010 3:07 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- Good luck with that one is all I have to say if that's what he really wants to do. ----------------------------------- RandomLetters Sun Jun 13, 2010 9:32 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- lol well technically aren't you downloading it already just by viewing it :P ----------------------------------- Cezna Mon Jun 14, 2010 5:10 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- No, because if you were downloading it, it would be stored on the hard drive. ----------------------------------- Draymire Mon Jun 14, 2010 8:54 am Re: tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- DemonWasp Mon Jun 14, 2010 9:13 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jun 14, 2010 10:29 am RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Monduman11 Sun Jun 20, 2010 9:07 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- really i never knew that tony... thanks lol guess i learned something new today ----------------------------------- 2goto1 Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:05 pm RE:tell me please,,, ----------------------------------- 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!
