live stream

So 'ive been playing the drums for a couple of years now.
Couple of weeks ago I found a very interesting video that could help me allot with my practice.
Unfortunately this site seems to go on and offline every once in a while.
So does anyone know a descent live stream downloader so I can keep this vid on my pc?
Preferably freeware since i'm only interested in only 1 video.

Have a gander at this and let us know if it's helpful.

I’ll try it when I get home.
Much obliged good Lemur.

Works well.

Now I just need to find my microphone,my imagination isn't developed enough to imagine the sound to go with it

If you use firefox or IE, just download the newest RealPlayer and it will install a plugin that allows you to download videos from youtube etc.
In Firefox it's very convenient and a button shows up above the video, in IE it seems you have to right-click the video.

RealPlayer? For reals? You must have had better experiences than I, 'cause I've had nothing but problems whenever I even touch that stuff.

He didn't specify the source of the video, so I linked to the most general-purpose tool. If it's a matter of just extracting a fully-loaded Flash video (as with YouTube) there are easier tools.

Well, I haven't used that plugin often but when I have it either worked or the stream was not allowed to be copied(like some sites where you can watch movies after paying, makes sense there)
I never had any big issues with Real Player though I don't use it often either, sometimes it can play DVDs just fine when other players cause problems. And since version 10 it also looks really nice and has a nice interface.

Ha yes realplayer.

Completely forgot about that one.
I used it couple of pc's ago.

I'm kind of an unorganized guy so to avoid this problem I normally keep downloading programs to a minimum.

Otherwise my desktop would be a shortcut dump in no time with a hard drive to match.

But this time an exception has been made.
Realplayer doesn’t look that bad indeed.

Also much thanks to you Husar.

I always remove all desktop items completely (there's an option when you right-click your desktop under view or so), that way I never get a shortcut mess and I can always see whatever nice wallpaper I happen to have.
The programs I use often I then put into the quickstart bar, the rest I access through the start menu.
Makes your computer look so much tidier.
