If the file you wish is on YouTube then you are in luck. Use "clive",
which is a command line app. Once you install it, goto to the youtube
page you want to capture in firefox and just copy the URL line. Then
open a terminal and enter: 

sudo clive "the-url-pasted-here-using-ctrl-insert" 

...and hit return! It'll save the flv file to the directory that you are
in. Piece of cake! My all time favorite application. Enjoy! Ric
 
p/s you have to use the quotation marks as I noted, they enclose the
url.
