Well.., I just finished watching more than 2hrs worth of giant bomb videos.. all of which, were on my HDD.. Yeeaaaaah!

My internet is just 256k and am mostly on Linux  so streaming those (700k = any quality for some reason)  videos is not a good option.. I just queue them up, download and then watch them whenever free( Like I was today :P ).

Seeing that I use a workaround to do this, I thought I would mention it here, helping, maybe, other Giantbombers like myself.

Its simple actually, I just use this VideoDownload Helper Addon for Firefox, which automatically detects a streaming video being played and gives you the source file's location for download (it also converts them, if you want) I pair it with Flashgot, another addon, using which I direct the download to a Download Manager of my choice and download away :D

The good thing is that, it supports resume.. so if  electricty goes off (like, those bazillion times in a day it does, here) you wont have to restart those usually huge size video files! Also, I can shutdown after download, etc etc.

Of course, this MIGHT be bad for the Giantbomb servers because it increases load etc.. but.. hmm.. I am not sharing this info to overload the servers or anything, just so that others like me can get the videos in an easier fashion.

Soo.. hope this helps!

Gotta sleep.. been watching so many videos, 3 AM now.... just the other day Ryan Davis appeared in my dreams xD He was introducing OTS style vidcast's debut episode.. and then... alarm rang :/

EDIT!

Incase you want to get the videos converted to any other format, no worries! The addon converts videos into ipod formats and others too! Heres is tw pics which will give a better idea about the process :D
