You have to follow html links to go down the pages, so I
don't think that you can download just non-html files
unless they are all linked from your start page. Then you
can put -* on the first line of "Scan Rules" and +*.mov
+*.avi on the second line - it might work....

The only way I know of downloading streaming data is to
play it and record it on your PC - good luck if you have
less than a broadband connection; naturally, you'd also
need the right video card to run a capture of the video.
Of course, you could write a JAVA program which would save
all the streaming bits, but you'd have to find a way to
distinguish the bits that you want from the bits that have
to do with your connection, etc.
Seems like a lot of trouble for a few videos, not to
mention that you might run into "the law": streaming data
is used often in order to prevent copyright infringement.
I'd prefer to avoid the hassles, personally. As they
say, "there's more than one way to skin a cat," but one has
to decide whether "skinning the cat" at all is appropriate,
given the circumstances.
