284797 2004-10-26 06:20:00 www.42below.co.nz is the actual URL of the movie.

Get a download accelerator (or any form of download manager), and download that file.

By the way, MS WILL YOU PLEASE make IE able to download a file if you wish instead of automatically viewing it if it can?

HTH,
George

284799 2004-10-26 06:40:00 Turn on show Hidden Files & Folders in My Computer
Let the page fully load, minimise the page, don't close it
The navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUsername\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
The Flash File will be the last entry in the list (585Kb's)
Right Click it, copy & paste to desktop

This is also useful for saving Quicktime & other movies that automatically open & play in IE

284802 2004-10-26 06:52:00 Check out this thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). Bruce gave a link to a program that can save those files which may be the easiest way to grab it. Susan B (19)
284803 2004-10-26 07:17:00 Oh come on people.

Grabbing that file is so easy it's childs play.

let me explain how.
George12 has a link to the file further up the thread, I merely right clicked on the file and scrolled down to save as, hmm less than 20 seconds and opps whats that? oh look I have a shockwave flash file saved on my desktop. Oh look it's the 42 below vodka ad.
Simple eh!

284804 2004-10-26 10:23:00 Hey, yeah.

THE SOLUTION IS HERE!

Every time I need to download a file that IE just displays, I will simply do a Google search for the item.

For example, in the google bar I enter:

"www.jgih.com (doesn't really exist)

Click search (twice, the first time it tries to go to it), and hey presto:

If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: www.jgih.com/file.asp

INSTANT LINK

Thanks for helping me realise that tip.
