[Question] Can I download these QuickTime movies?

I've been trying to watch the Tiger previews ->here<- but since they're pretty big and I'm on dial-up, I never manage to get more than halfway through them before I get disconnected/have to go out/girlfriend wants to use phone. I'm just wondering if it's possible to download these sorts of movies using a download manager so I can download it at my leasure and restart it again, as well as be able to watch it more than once whenever I want without having to go through the whole process again.

Try to dig in the HTML source, but I was trying to d/l some other movies from Apple's web-site, it was vain.

All I had got was 2 Kb mov files.

hmm find the url of the video, make a link, and then right click > save linked file as

Well I just managed to play a whole video, the Dashboard one. I discovered I can actually watch it again cos the .mov file is in Temporary Internet Files (I used IE, I normally use Firefox so I can't do it with that.). Right-clicking on the movie it has a save as QuickTime movie option but it's greyed out so I assume you can only do that once the movie is finished.

d additional info

hmm find the url of the video, make a link, and then right click > save linked file as

I made the link but I can't find a "save linked file as" option.

I've also tried putting the url into Leechget but it just saves it as a page

I made the link but I can't find a "save linked file as" option.

Make simple html file with this link and Right click it

or just write the link in a im window like this, and press preview post.. http://images.apple.com/movies/us/apple/ti...shboard_fs1.mov like that

Well thanks a lot guys, with your combined help I finally worked out a simple way to do it.

View page source > look foor the url that ends in .mov > copy that into Leechget.

Result.

[EDIT] I've just realised that's pretty much exactly what pwnzrzpat was saying, I just thought at first you were talking about making a link to the actual page, I now realise you meant the actual movie url in the page source.
