Any way to get You Tube on slow dial up?
I have been feeding my Daily Show/Colbert Report/Olbermann fix with downloads from Crooks and Liars but I keep seeing more and more You Tube links there now. That website says you need at least 500 Kbps speeds and I am lucky to get 24! Is there another site that will let me load these clips or some other magical internets method I haven't found yet?

I am going to cross post this in the lounge.

1. If you use Firefox, you might try VideoDownloader at
http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

I'm sure it or others are available for different browsers too.

Flashgot, but I have no idea if or how to make them work for You Tube....

3. In the sense of being a different extension, yes. It works for me. DLs
youtube videos fine, however, I don't know if it will do it from other sites (non-youtube) ... I'd check but I'm uploading a lot of photos right now, and the flickr utility I use is a little picky about network activity.
