You cannot download this video. Sorry. :( Because this 176KB Swf file is only a interface for running the actual video. Actual video seems hidden on their servers and you can only access it online. Many websites are using this technology nowdays to prevent their content from being downloaded.

I could copy the cached swf file from opera. The size was about 6 MB.

EDIT:

My opera cache path where the file was stored is C:\Documents and Settings\*******\Application Data\Opera\Opera 9\profile\cache4

yeah cache is the solution,
get cache viewer or hunt down to the cache folder in app data folder.

I already said above its not the actual video. Do you expect a 176KB file to be a download for 18 minute video????

d FF cache is located in

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

it may have many profiles (dependin on the number of unique FF users on ur comp)

1 will have d active cache

Slugger that folder is for Firefox Profiles Folder not cache folder.
Cache folder location is

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\Cache

And there is no use of Firefox Cache folder. You cannot recover any file from its cache folder.

You are not understanding...your link points to user/application data/mozilla whereas cache folder is in user/local settings/application data/mozilla

After downloading the video do this, wait a few sec's for all the links to be shown.

Then click on the link, and close the tab(otherwise the download wont start, same like youtube and others).

Sorry i forgot to mention one important thing,

You have to add swf extension to the download helper tool.

Goto Download helper>preferences>Medialink>

type swf and click add.

then Goto MediaReq>

type swf and click add.

Done, now restart FF.

:D
