I started this fight with youtube back when it was called google video, because i wanted to watch content but my 28.8kbps modem didnt have the grunt todo it in one session.

When i started getting 100,000's of downloads a day, google updated their html and blocked me from their search engine. I did the cat and mouse a few times but in the end it wasnt worth it.

Glad to see the legacy still lives on :D

Cool. But Youtube was never called google video. Youtube was acquired by Google and Google Videos was a separate site.
