How does one download and play a youtube video using snow leopard? The old double click to download doesn't work anymore apparently.

In Safari, Option clicking the 'big' file in the Activity window will download the video.

The extension is so much nicer - placing a button right on the YouTube page.

Click the Downloads button on this page.

Choose YouTube-video-downloader-1.1.4.safariextz, go to your downloads folder and double click the YouTube-video-downloader-1.1.4.safariextz file.

It installs for me, it shows in Extensions in Safari prefs, but I get no Download Now button, it seems to be broken. It's been over a year since he wrote the extension, must not be compatible the newest Safari.
