Firefox :D
Just save the page.. & the flash gets saved too. Or use addons like Unplug to save streaming media.

i want something which can take out data from my browsers cache. because i dont want to waste my bandwith. see if i watch a video at youtube then it already gets stored in my browser cache.so if i use any site like keepvid or use any stream downloader then it will again download the whole thing.which means twice the bandwith used for the same thing. i want a good program that scans my browser cache for any flash stuff.

i do this:
Whenever I see a youtube video or a flash file, I open up Firefox's Cache folder, Change the view to Details and arrange them by last modified. While flash loads or the youtube video downloads to cache, I check the topmost or subsequent files whose size keeps on increasing. After it downloads completely, I copy to another folder and rename it to .flv or .swf accordingly. Simple :)

In IE the use the same method. see in the temp folder. sometimes it may look like some other file, but change the extension to flv. Thank you for teaching firefox method.
