I didn't manage to download the video with FlashGot either.
Since I can watch it, through Firefox and also with Totem, and since any
buffered video is going to have to be downloaded and cached somewhere, I wonder
*where* if not in ~/.mozilla/firefox/duq4lps5.default/Cache.
Once found out this, I could pick it up without need of plugins.
