I recently laid my hands on a copy of DevExpress' Code Rush and Refactor! Pro. They have a section on their site that allows you to watch training videos about these products. I wanted to watch them all but at my own pace and on my main TV in the living room.

Using  my new toys I whipped up the following code to download all of the movies from their site. Now I just need to convert them to AVI so I can watch them on the Xbox.

Code included just because I want to:

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Net;

namespace SnagDevExMovies

                new Uri(@"http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/IDETools/CodeRush/Training.xml");
        private static UriBuilder siteResource = new UriBuilder(site);
        
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

           string content = getContent(site);
           MatchCollection URLs = getMatches(content, 
                new Regex(@"bWatchExpanded.*LessonNewWindow\('(?<URL>.*)'\)"));
           processMatches(URLs);
        }

        private static void processResource(Uri uri)
        {
