Keep any Flash Video on the web with this tip
Hello Internet! I just wanted to share a tip with all of you Google Chrome users out there. This one you probably already know.
How to keep any Flash Video from anywhere on the Internet for FREE!
No I'm not a robot, and I don't want your credit card info, nor do I wish to tell you how to make your (expletive deleted) bigger. It's just something I stumbled on and I wanted to share it.
You can keep any flash video on the internet if you're using Google Chrome. It's really simple. Just browse on over to any video you like, it could be YouTube, or a porn site, whatever. Watch it. Or don't. I don't care. Just keep it going in the back ground until it is fully loaded. Next, go to your home directory using your favorite file manager. You may have to turn on "show hidden files" different FMs do it differently, consult your documentation. At any rate you're looking for ".cache" this applies to KDE, GNOME, it doesn't matter. in ".cache" you'll find "google-chrome" inside you'll find a whole bunch of files. You're looking for Flash Video filetypes so either a "list view" or "details" or something along those lines would be your best bet to find it more quickly. None of the cache files in here have "human names" like video.flv for example, there all along the lines of f_007x so finding your particular one isn't exactly easy, but it's not hard. File sizes are your best clue here. Of course, if the video is still loading it's easier because you're looking for a flash video that seems to keep growing in file size. Once you found the one you want to keep just copy it to a permanent location like ~/Videos or something like that and give it a better name. Or not. It's up to you. Anyway, I hope you find this tip useful. Oh and don't worry about what distro your using, it doesn't seem to matter. I've tried this trick on Slackware, Ubuntu, and openSuSe. Have Fun!
