im not sure if im sposed to be telling this so if not, feel free to delete this thread. Anyway.....

If you want to download a soundboard for use anytime without using someones website heres how...

Go to the soundboard page and bring up the soundboard.
In IE go to View...then Source

this brings up a text file of the html in the page...
Search for "swf"
hit find, then find again and it should take you to the link to the .swf file
for example.. http://soundboards.com/arnie.swf
Copy THAT into a web browser and bring up the soundboard
Then go to FILE...SEND PAGE...BY EMAIL
this brings up your email client with the .swf file as an attachment.
Either send it to yourself or save the attachment to you local disk before sending it at all

Works for me

Yeah, there are a few variations but that method should work fine. SO many people ask about this that it'd almost be worth making it sticky.

I find the easiest way is to go into tempory internet files and copy it into any directory you want so you can keep a copy on your hard-drive.

You could also get the URL like Smeghead suggested. Then past it into a download manager like GetRight.

Try getting the source code or just right click and hit "Save target as"
