Downloading the real file off a server

I know of NetTransport, But is there any other programs, or something ONLINE that pulls the original file from the server.
e.g. everytime I tried downloading a certain video file, I was getting only a STREAM but not the actual file. Net transport solved that.

Does anybody know of any alternatives to that?
Perhaps something online, that you put in the link and it will download it?

Are you looking for an application that will allow you to record streaming files?

No.
Exactly the opposite!
There is a file on their server.
If you download this file regularly, you won't have the ACCTUAL file, rather it'll open WMPlayer and start playing a STREAM of the video, but you can't get the real file.
NetTransport let me acctualy get the REAL file the way it is on their server!
So I was looking for an alternative, perhaps there's some website, that you put in a link, and it will FORCE download the ORIGINAL file.
