Movgrab is a downloader for all those pesky sites that insist you use a big fat browser that runs flash in order to see their content. It's a command-line application written in straight C, and so doesn't require you to install perl. Nor ruby. Nor python. Nor guile, scheme, glib, gtk, qt, gnome, kde, X-windows, m4, firefox or windows. No! Not any of that! It *should* compile on all posix unix systems.
