1. Keepvid.com
I think this is the most popular tool used for downloading videos. In fact, this is my first choice to download a video. Just copy and paste the video link, then press download. Wait for a few moment until the download link is ready, and you can right click and save target as. Usually, you can select 2 types of file, flv (low quality) or mp4 (high quality). You're gonna need an flv or mp4 player in order to view the downloaded file. So easy, no need to install any program.
2. 12looklook.com
Another similar tool to Keepvid with an option to select the video server type. Just select the appropriate server.
3. DownloadHelper (FireFox add-on)
You must use FireFox browser in order to use this tool. If you haven't, download it from Mozilla website. Here are the steps:
a. After FireFox is installed, go here to download DownloadHelper add-on.
b. Follow the instruction to install it (you will be asked to restart your browser).
c. This tool enables us to download video(s) you are currently viewing. Just keep an eye on the animated
icon. If it's animating, then you can download the video being played. Click on the icon, select the file name, then save as.4. RadioRipper
This tool is used to download Winamp streaming video files (I often use it to download from aznv.tv). It works like a tape recorder which record streaming file and save it to your hard disk. Here's how to do it:
a. Install and run Radio Ripper.
b. Inside your browser, open (click) the video file (.nsv) you want to watch.
c. When asked to choose to open file with Winamp or save it, choose open with Winamp.
d. Winamp will launch automatically and play the streaming file.
e. Click Record in RadioRipper window.
f. Wait for the file to finish buffering (it may take a few minutes to several hours, depending on the size of the file).
e. After it finished, check the "recorded" result in RadioRipper. The recorded file (with .nsv extension) can be viewed offline using Winamp.
There are some other tools I used for downloading streaming video, but these 4 are the best tools I've found so far that actually work. Hope this helps you. Happy downloading!

hi, i find that this post is very useful and i love it lol. i tried using the radio ripper by following ur steps exactly but it just doesn't work for me. have i missed something? i can't seem to click on the record icon
Wow, I never thought someone would still read this blog. Sorry, it's been abandoned for a very long time.
About your question, I haven't used radio ripper in a long time now. Perhaps you need to use the latest version, or maybe aznv.tv has modified its files so RR is unable to download it anymore. I'm not sure which one.
Downloading from streaming websites needs a lot of trials and errors. Some software works on a few websites, some don't. Heck, now I can't even download from YouTube using KeepVid anymore :(
My advice is, just keep searching on Google for new softwares to download from streaming websites :)
