downloading youtube video

Usual techniques are using such kind of websites that povide this facility, e.g. keepvid.com. But in case you lack of bandwidth it will cause problem, e.g your connection cost is based on how many byte you are using.

Actually when you play youtube video the browser will cache the video in your local disk, and then the flash-plugin will play it from there. So it would be nice to grab this cache file instead of downloading it again through other website.

Where are the files?
Find them in the browser cache folder. They must be the newest with huge file size, at least 3MB. Copy them into your favorite folder and play them using vlc player, its free and powerful, even though has ugly interface.

Unfortunately this is not always the case. Sometimes the files are secretly encoded so you can not play it correctly.
