What do you want to do? Save a video? If so, one of the addons above should do it. A Guy

Actually as i'm a student in an university the internet provider of my hostel has limited the download speed so i cannot download videos.So i want to know where a youtube streaming video cache is stored so that i need not download instead i can stream the video and can rename the streamed video file cache with *.flv extension & watch the video.Is there any way to do that.If i stream a video in youtube its cache file must be stored in my computer somewhere.So i just want to know where will it be saved???

If you use IE then it is easy to track the file. I would be located in C=>Users=>Your User name=>AppData=>Local=>Microsoft=>Windows=>Temporary Internet Files. But you should enable show hidden files and folders in Folder Options(Control Panel=>Appearance. In start search for temp and Change temporary Internet files settings then under Browsing History select Settings and set the disk space used to the maximum(i.e., 1024MB).
