I know there has to be a way to download flash movies from like You Tube, Myspace, and Bolt.com. But I don't know what program to use. Any suggestions? It's just so I can show my buddy that has dial up, otherwise it takes ages on his compy.

They aren't specifically talking about the flash videos on ebaumsworld, but on youtube, google video, bolt, etc. Those sites don't usually provide a download link.

Every time you watch a flash it's downloaded to your computer in the temporary internet files folder. Though theres programs (as mentioned above) that will make it easier to retrieve them.

If you look in the source code of the page that's playing the flash you should see referance to a ".swf" file. Type it in directly into your browser and save the page :)

Most the the main sites in question embed those files, so looking at the source is rather pointless.
