How can I download streaming videos from the Internet? 

by Dave on August 26, 2010

Q: I just paid $463.95 for a three related informational/instructional products online. The sales letter describes the products as downloadable. The links to the two upgrade (upsells) say “Download…” and the name of the upgrade.

The first product consists of MP3 files only, and they are downloadable. The second consists of 11 videos, each accompanied by a PDF file, although it was advertised as videos only. The third is eight videos only. The PDFs are downloadable. The videos are not. While I can watch the videos online, if I want to have them available for reference (and I do), I will have to pay $114 a month for a subscription to the web site.

When I right click on the videos, a menu that says “Settings,” “Global Settings” and “About Adobe Flash Player 10″ pops up. I assume this means the files are in Adobe Flash format.

I could ask for my money back, but I’d rather get what I paid for.

Is there any way to download these files or, as an alternative, capture them from the screen?

I’m running a Dell laptop with Windows XP.

Is there a way to stop a page from loading in my web browser when I find out it has video? 

by Suddenly Susan on August 13, 2010

Q: I have an old emachine and I live in the country. I have dialup and the fastest I can get is 53.3 Kbps.

For that reason, I don’t download large file such as videos because you can imagine how long that would take and long before it was done my ISP would disconnect me. I try to be careful about sites I visit and if they are loaded with video ads I back out as fast as I can. Sometimes I can’t even using Esc or Alt+Ctrl+Delete. Of course I’m blocked by programming that probably includes a “stay here” line. If I unplug the phone line from the wall jack, the computer freezes and the only way I can end it is to go to Shutdown, but even then I have to wait. So my question is, is there some keyboard command I can use to over-ride programming to stop a download?
