I use RealPlayer to download videos off of YouTube. The only problem with the vids being on there is the dirtbags at FOM keep having them taken down(That's with races that have been uploaded in several or many clips - complete races in one single clip seem to be alright).
I can't see why FOM are quite that anal about taking old races down. It's not like they've released historic season packages on DVD or anything! The season reviews I can understand but old VHS recordings from 20 years ago..come on!
