Now, I am just the biggest flash cluebie there is out there so please forgive
my ignorance, but I am quite sure that flash files and things like that are
downloaded by browsers (to the plguin) using HTTP and no other protocol. curl
speaks HTTP and can thus download flash files fine, if you just know how to
point curl to one of them...
