If you're installing firefox add-ons, or looking for stand alone software or even websites to download your fav youtube video :-(, forget them..

All you need to do is, just start the video in your browser..when the buffering is complete, go over to /tmp and look for a file Flash<something>.. that's the file, just copy and paste it wherever you wish..

[EDIT]

Just remember to keep the window/tab with the youtube page open till you copy the video..

Well i think the standalone softwares serve multiple purposes. So, installing them once and then stop worrying about downloads sounds good to me :)

That's a great find. This can be done even in IE, go to "Internet options > General > Browsing history > Settings > View Files" and look for files starting with "Videoplayback".

What youll said is true. So I guess in conclusion, windows is not better than linux and linux is not better than windows but they are both different.

Do you guys agree?
