enter url of youtube video on this site, and you can download them as either flv or mp4. Simple as that.

Greetings

I just wanted to note on the contribution of this community here. It’s second to none.

I want to contribute my part to this forum as well

There is a site that has been exceedingly helpful to myself and some associates of mine. That site is OnlineComputerHelpers.com and they offer online computer repair

I hope that my input has been substantial and you also are able to use their services just as I have.

Another thing I’ll like to do with this is create a hard link while it’s caching.

ln /tmp/Flash123abc /movie.flv

This is limited to the same device as /tmp, but it means should you accidentally close that page after it’s finished downloading it’ll still be at /movie.flv

Make sure not to use a symlink though otherwise it’ll be gone

Cheers,

Alan.

Dr. Ivan, Just wanted to say this is a brilliant and simply hack! There are many more than one way to do things and this is one of those that are beautiful just because of it’s simplicity. Thank you for sharing.

@GregE: Thanks for testing and sharing! @Kees: Actually, you are absolutely correct: You can hard-link the file to prevent it from disappearing! But just to clarify for folks out there. We are talking about hard links (i.e. "ln file1 file2"). The otherwise often used soft links (i.e. "ln -s file1 file2") will not work in this case. Thanks for the tip, Kees!

What I do is while the Flashxxxxxx file is loading: go to /tmp
and make a link to the Flashxxxxxx file. Like
ln Flashxxxxxxx MyFile.swf. This way it does not disappear when
closing the session.
