Might not need software.

In the Internet Explorer, Tools->Internet Options.
Under General Tab, temporary internet files, click on settings.
Here, click on View Files
Search in this folder for what u want.

For Firefox cache, type about:cache in the FF address bar.

BTW, r u speakin about Cache View?

Well, I use mozilla ff and the problem is there are over 1000 entries and when i list the cache entries searching the specific files ( in my case media files ) becomes a problem because i wont be knowing the extensions as well..

I always tell others to search first, b4 posting. The same goes to u...

Ever heard of Video Downloader, FireFox addon? Or @least Ook? Video Ook! addon?

If u r a FireFox pro (which u don't seem to be) and if u heard of Greasemonkey script (which is again a rare likelihood), here's a lifehack page on how to do the same with the script.
