downloading flash animation/ videos

is there a way to download these to the computer to watch?

MY dial Up will not play things like YOUTUBE video… some I would very much like to download and watch without buffering ever 3 seconds.

Any programs for this?

Scripts have to be enabled for Youtube.
If you have downloaded other viewers there may be issues of priority of various viewers.

no, what I mean is, it WILL play them but ever few seconds its stops to buffer so a 1 minute video turns into a 20 minute frustration. If I could download the whole file to my computer I could watch it no problem.

Firefox has an add-on called ‘VideoDownloader’ that will enable you to capture the video in .flv format. Then you just need an .flv player which you can find free on the internet. If need be, you can also get an .flv converter (Super, for example).

nice, I use firefox… I will lool that up
