How do you download 'blocked' YouTube videos?

[Patrick]

There's a few episodes of this year's Big Brother, that I NEED to get my hands on - but Channel 5 have blocked them from us, I usually get them of a certain channel before they are blocked, but Channel 5 have became alot quicker at doing it.

Does anyone have any idea how you'd go about downloading a video that's blocked in the UK?

I know we can use proxies to view them, but what about actually downloading them to our computers? Really need replies here, any help at all.

They have a block on them, I use 'Free Studio' to download videos - but when you try from Demand5 it automatically says 'Video cannot be downloaded'.

Download http://download.cnet.com/hotspot-shield/ totally changes your IP and gets around these blocks. I've watched things on all the american sites like CBS using it

You can use the torch browser to both unblock sites, and download streaming video (or torrent files). Should help you out.
