RealPlayer has the functionality for downloading FLV files from the Internet to local hard disk. You can try it.

I had to download a FLV player, and it works fine. BUT:
Can someone explain why it takes a dedicated FLV player to play downloaded Flash files?
Why can't they simply be played using a browser?
What's the difference between a downloaded FLV file and one that resides on a website, in other words, why does Flash open up when you go to the website, but if you paste the downloaded file in the URL window, it just does nothing?
Is there a way to invoke Flash without using the browser?
