Of course!! that's it! what tim just said is the answer... (Btw Yep, the Firefox Method Worked) and Yep, it actually is a SWF File but it plays only "a fullscreen black" because what you've downloaded is a Flash Player, the SWFObject player that web developers use to embed Flash movies on a webpage... That's why it only is 20K also, it's only the player without the "SWFObject" library and without the video itself... See, the "retrieve from cache" method works (or at least used to work) with youtube videos, as when they play, they actually "cache" (note the use of the word as a verb) among other things, the original video... When the video stops loading, it is on your cache and you can retrieve it in MP4 usually... Megavideo Caches the videos in SWF for example but files are way much larger than 20K. when a webpage play flash videos, most of the time they use the "SWFObject" method and one of the things that is "caching" in the background is the SWF Player, that is the thing you just downloaded... See, there are more easy ways to download videos from web, if you can, tell me what you were trying to grab and I'll help you. -- Manuel Escudero Linux User #509052 Twitter: @Jmlevick <http://twitter.com/Jmlevick> Blogger: Blog Xenode <http://xenodesystems.blogspot.com/> PGP/GnuPG: E2F5 12FA E1C3 FA58 CF15 8481 B77B 00CA C1E1 0FA7 Xenode Systems - xenodesystems.com <http://www.xenodesystems.com/> - "Conéctate a Tu Mundo"
