Yeh, the original link streams from the net as you mentioned, the one I posted is the actual file. You download it in seconds and can watch it whenever you wish as its stored on your PC.

Is it possible to do that with any stream or just where the link for doing so is available?

For some reason I couldn't stream the file off the net.. so if you want to download the actual video file, you can;
- Right click next to it on the page (not on top of video or flash etc.. you need to right click on the frame holding that script)
- Select "View Page Info" - am assuming you are using firefox by the way..
- Click on "Media" tab
- Scroll down till you see the file. ( its type would be "Embed" )
You can save it normally from there, but if that doesn't work then highlight the URL address, copy it and paste it into a browser. This will open the window to either play it or save it...
