okay, you either only stream the stuff, what meanst that it need the conection to the internet to directly download what you are currently seeing or you have set up your pc somewhere to put anything downloaded into your temorary internet files file or something.

I don't know your system (I do as id it was the usual windows) but usually you can find the stuff easily. If you know the name of the file you download than go to "START" and pick "Search" a new window will pop up with several lines where you can fill in what you search for. Make sure it searches the same drive where your windows is installed and fill in the file name, than klick "search" and wait. The file, if it was indeed a download and no stream will appear on the side and allow you to activate it or copy it into that place you want it to be. If you don't have direct hits for your search term type in the file kind ( .mov, .avi, .mpeg , .mp3...) and try again but it will bring you a lot more files now.

If you found your file than you (in most systems) get the place where it is shown on the top, usually looking like a web link, you can open that place as any other file and look there for your other files.

But to make sure this happens never again always klick at the stuff and make "Save target as" normally it allows you to pick the place where to download too.

if you're trying to d/l a local vid, then go through the links and it should come up with two choices: 'open' and 'save to...' try 'save to...', that'll probably work better.
