Downloading flash videos in ubuntu

Here is a modified version of a online script I found to download videos. Online script download everything which is a clutter because it has many flash ads too.

$ cat ~/Dropbox/new_installation/scripts/flash_vid.sh

#!/bin/bash

num=1;

for FILE in $(lsof -n | grep "Flash.*deleted" | awk '{printf "/proc/" $2 "/fd/"; sub(/[a-z]+/,"",$4); print $4}'); do

cp $FILE $HOME/Desktop/$num.flv

size=$( stat -c %s $HOME/Desktop/$num.flv);

if [ $size -gt 5000000 ]; then

num=$[$num + 1];

else

rm $HOME/Desktop/$num.flv;

fi

done
