[pchelpers] Re: Real Player Files

There are certain sites that provide 'broadcast media' rather than 
download. I tried one once- downloaded 300MB of data which played in 
media player. I intended to save it and play it again later, but by then 
there was no trace of it left on my system. Unless you choose a download 
that contains a physical file in an explicit location that you can 
connect to with a link and download, this can happen to you too. So find 
out the location of the file to be sure of what you are getting.
