[Lee Licata]

Dale, et al,

I opened the activity window, clicked on the arrow, whole bunch of  
file names showed up, and and selected the largest file. if was 7.6  
mbytes in size.

Double clicked, and download started automatically.

Will try your way...

Thanks!

Hm, I got a .webarchive file when I did this. It is 404 Kb in size.
It plays in a browser window when I double click it, and the URL when
it play is "file.//.....".

I went to the URL above and let the whole video play to the end. Then
I went to Window/Activity, selected the top item (if I clicked the
arrow next to it it showed 50+ subfiles, so I just chose the top
item, and chose File/Save.

How did you do it?
