If it&amp;#x27;s streaming the timeline should make it obvious which resource it&amp;#x27;s about. Then just right click on the item and &amp;quot;Open in new tab&amp;quot; or even Save (I don&amp;#x27;t remember if it&amp;#x27;s an option). When in a new tab, just save the page as the page will be the media file itself.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m fine with downloading content that&amp;#x27;s publicly available, but not because &amp;quot;they had it coming.&amp;quot;</text></comment>
