Yes, "Download Helper" is very prominent in combination with Firefox. However, it requires interactivity within the browser. In case that's not desired, youtube-dl can help. For non-YT-videos, get-flash-videos (a per script) works in many cases. The result FLV file can be played comfortably with mplayer. I'm not sure in how far this combination can be integrated with the web browser... Again, it's worth noting that you should not touch a running system. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
