wow, that was a cool hint, but mostly unncecissary. I got that pink floyd movie by these simple steps

1)start the movie from the pink floyd page in safari
2)click Window - Activity
3)scroll down to the downloading movie file - double-click it
4)when the movie finishes loading in the new screen that opens, click File - Save As - and save it to your hard drive
5)there is no step 5

The beauty that is the activity window in Safari has been documented before on this site. It's a real time saver for almost any type of external file on a site.

Best way to save embedded files in safari. Works with flash, quicktime, etc...

1. Open page you want
2. Window->Activity
3. Option Click file you want to save

Option return saves files also in the title bar instead of loading pages.
