Downloading for Realplayer, after watching the full movie, I click download and it has to reread the movie from the internet. When using explorer, after downloading the movie, it reads it from memory, which makes it a fast download. Hoow to make this work with Firefox, I like not to use microsoft products, and I really like Firefox 7.0.1!!!! HELP!

How do you mean loaded it from memory? Cache/Temp file before closing the browser? Firefox generally tosses those large files when you move from a page else a single Youtube session could easily chew up several gigs.

Tried http://www.videolan.org/ or http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ ? They both have a Firefox video plugin and will play damn near every format. Real Networks is still around? I thought they and their terrible format and player where finally gone for good...

When I watching a movie with Microsoft's Explorer and I move the mouse over the movie, Realplayer's "Download This Video" button pops up and when the movie is finished, and your click on this button, it downloads quickly from the Cache. But when I try this with Firefox, it doesn't download through the cache, it downloads through the Internet, which is slow. This other program videolan and etc, does not work. Thanks.
