This has never let me down...not sure about downloading from other sites, but it is fine with Youtube.

The download Helper Addon for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006

Download the latest free RealPLayer. It includes a download facility that will save pretty much any embedded video in its original format, and also let you record a lot of streaming video (albeit in a proprietal ".ivr" format that can't be viewed on anything else at present. Although you can burn the .ivr files to disc and re-rip them to any required format).
