Okay, that doesn't seem to work for my videos, e.g.: http://e.walla.co.il/?w=/268/1730875 I cleared the cache, started the video, then ran: 'watch ls -l /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/nnnnnnnn.ProfName/Cache/' but no video shows up there (I see various things that seem to be cache infrastructure, and a couple of 'Macromedia Flash data files', but the latter seem to be player files, not video). > I've come up with 3 potential solutions > > 1: The http proxy method I mentioned above, basically just a personal > web proxy that ignores no-cache & any other http messages not to proxy > files then you can copy the files out of the cache directory, apparently > squid can be set up like this but I haven't had time to experiment yet. > http://www.michaelboman.org/how-to/squid Well, I'm using squid anyway, so I'll give this a try. > 2: I was wondering if I could move the Cache directory to some sort of > write only or version controlled file system, chmoding the file to 200 > or 020 doesn't work.
