Stream ripping software, which works well?

[visionarybear]

can anyone reccomend a good stream ripping program?
this is for windows., either quicktime,realplay or win media player  formats

basically i want to download and store some videos on the net that if right clicked on and save target as, it download a shortcut to the streaming file, so cant actually download the video, being on dirty dirty dial up atm, i cant really stream so downloading is preferable
anyone?
