I'm on dial-up, and I don't want Flash or music player plugins in my browser, but sometimes I see something I'd like to download. Yet with audio and Flash I can't seem to find a way to do it. If I try to do "save link as" I just get a small, dummy file. I don't understand why downloading woudn't be the first choice, even for people with high-speed. After all, if you end up liking what you see wouldn't you just as soon have a copy? Am I missing something here?

After that, load these extensions: FlashBlock -- http://flashblock.mozdev.org/ VideoDownloader -- http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php With the first, Flash animations won't play until you click on them. With the second, you can save the video playing on the current page. -- Working without a .NET? http://classicvb.org/

I think I want to work for you. :) I tried javimoya.com but I don't get anything like a download dialogue. When I paste in Stefan's link and click "download" it just sends me to the blog page. This stuff drives me crazy. It's like the Internet is turning into one big TV-land, in read-only format.
