You could always write a quick shell script combined from tcpdump, fetch, curl...to download direct multimedia files. tcpdump can see them all, nevertheless in some situations you do need some tricks (mostly http request headers) to successfully retrieve the file. If you wanna do smt further, write it as cgi script and let apache hosts it. You and your mate now can download multimedia stuff anytime, anywhere

It was a project that I thought I could do it but Im too busy and actually never had enough time to finish
