What's a good utility for DLing an online movie trailer (for a friend) that's an FLV and does not have an unobfuscated URL?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Motorola Droid: Look out, iPhone
Could this be the next iPhone "killer?" If you think hardware is the secret to the iPhone's success, maybe. Here's the first good look at Motorola Droid, the much talked-about smartphone running Google's shiny, updated Android 2.0 operating system. It's only slightly thicker than an iPhone, but looky there — there's a slide-out keyboard and a 5-megapixel camera.
One thing's for sure: When this baby ships in the next few weeks, it'll be the best Android phone ever. Faster than any other Android phones, it'll run the same processor core as the iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre, the TI OMAP3430. Best of all, the boy genius who got his hands on this 3.7-inch-screened trinket says it has a sturdy build, an "awesome capacitive display," and is "the thinnest QWERTY slider we've ever seen." And hey, AT&T haters, it'll be on Verizon, maybe the lesser of four evils.

Trust my rage
I am just venting...
I have a standard, old style cassette tape that was recorded at slow speed so it sounds like the Chipmunks when played in my car. I have looked all over town for an adjustable speed tape player but I can't find even a regular tape player.
My alternative is to drive to Denver (courthouse has a special player), but that's 3 total hours of driving time for a 10 minute tape.

What's on the tape, Stephanie? You could run it into your computer at the normal (fast) speed and then use a program like Audacity to "stretch" the file.

Actually, that's exactly what I'm going to try. I'll be taking my laptop out to my car shortly.
I had no idea tapes were so old school.

Stephanie, if you just need to listen to it, try seeing if you can do it in someone's car. That's the only place I can think of to find a cassette recorder.

That still doesn't fix the problem of it being recorded as a slow speed. All cars will play it fast.

Yeah, I just now tried playing it, recording it via GarageBand, and then slowing it down, but it didn't work. It was still gibberish, but slower. I assume GB was intended to be used like that.
eta: I'm trying Jon's suggestion now.
