There are some really cool video lectures available on youtube and I waant to download them. The problem is that apart from being slow, they cannnot be resumed. I get disconnected a lot and hence its pretty difficult to download any of them.

Is there any solution for this problem? God? Ferg? Ninja? Rob? Hotnewton? Beetsh? Anyone?

These are the vids I'm talking about btw.

If you use FireFox you can download the add-on that allows you to download flash videos (youtube), but it only saves them to .flv format, which probably means you'd have to downlad a flv player

Nah. That's not the problem. The problem is that I'm not able to resume it. I've used firefox plugin and IDM's flv download facility.

I think this one works:

FLV player:

Hmmm. You mean you can't watch it twice??? What do you mean "resume it"?

Whenever I get disconnected, the download breaks. And I have to restart downloading the file from beginning.

What browser are you using? I know that the new FF (3) resumes downloads, even when your browser crashes.

Why are you being disconnected?

I'm using firefox 2. I'm being disconnected coz of teh shitty broadband services that my ISP provides.

well download firefox 3 and get a better ISP
