No, this isn't a political rant...or anything even close. This is a program I just found that allows you to not only watch, but download video content from the web. Some uses are Podcasts, You Tube, Google Video etc.

This program is just under 20 MB's to download, but it's really worth it. You can watch one video...while downloading a bunch more. Set up your own "channels" and set it to download programs as they become available. Democracy saves the video to your hard drive(s). It is set up to automatically delete any video file older than 5 days, but you can also permanently keep any videos you choose.
This is really a great set-up...and way overdue. No more watching as your media player tells you it's buffering over and over again. Download the whole thing and watch it uninterrupted!
There are more channels than I could mention in a week, so I just suggest you download it and look around.
