Of course, finding a browser that will download it and not display it might be a challenge. Do you have a download manager like GetRight? If so, you could use that. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

tman carpal tunnel Registered: 24/12/2001 Posts: 5528	Not personally seen this one on TV but it looks like it's an UK advert for 118118 which is one of the new privatised directory enquires numbers. The adverts all actually bug the hell out of me, including the one for the 118888 as they're all made to be obnoxiously annoying so the number sticks in your head.

cushman veteran Registered: 21/01/2002 Posts: 1380 Loc: Erie, CO	Whenever I need to download something there is not a nice link to, I just create a temporary webpage and use the right click -> save link as... feature of most browsers. use this code: <a href="http://www.workinprogress.tv/personal/118118/118118.swf">download me!</a> in a text file, save as temp.html on your desktop, load into a browser, right click -> save link as... _________________________ Mark Cushman

peter carpal tunnel Registered: 13/07/2000 Posts: 4180 Loc: Cambridge, England	The adverts all actually bug the hell out of me, including the one for the 118888 as they're all made to be obnoxiously annoying so the number sticks in your head. They got some free publicity out of the BBC by standing two people in front of the scoreboard on Wimbledon Centre Court, in 118 T-shirts and such ludicrously 1970s (but still just about plausibly real) moustaches and wigs that during a break in the action the commentators, er, commented on them, accompanied by big close-up shot. Nice media hack. Peter

Roger carpal tunnel Registered: 18/01/2000 Posts: 5683 Loc: London, UK	Did anybody save either the 118 or the matrix ping pong movies? The 118 site appears to be down, and I'd rather have a copy of both, anyway. _________________________ -- roger
