flashgot and download helper

Wednesday, 27 May 2009

I'm using flashgot and download helper, plugins for firefox, to download 
some vid's (flv's).  I've browsed away from the videos and firefox is 
just at no-javascript gmail, but the cpu is still pegged.  top shows:

However, I'm hesitant to kill totem.  Is it involved in the download 
somehow?  The downloads are rather large and I'm not so keen to have the 
CPU pegged for hours on end...

thanks,

Thufir
