How to Download video with WGET?

[baxtermadux]

i wanted to download some videos from dailymotion.com. they stream files on that site. i heard i could use a software called WGET to grab the files and save them. anyone know how to do this? the instructions that come with teh software are too technical for my vocab. thanks

wget http://YOUR/URL/TO-FILE.get

and it drops it in the pwd.
I don't know if it will work with streamed media, I use mplayer to convert streamed media

His link is just an example link, you weren't supposed to click on it. But it does give the basic format of how to use the wget command.

wget "A destination"

wget will not help you unless you know the direct link to the actual video file instead of the file telling the browser to stream it, in which case you don't really need wget to download the file in the first place

LOL that was good
Open up a command line. Navigate to the directory that wget inhabits. type wget followed by a space followed by the location of the video.
