Some other tips:

- If you want a video, choose MP4 as the file format (the last three letters after the period in a filename).
If you want the audio only, choose MP3 as the file format. 


- Do NOT double-click a .dmg file!  They are installation files that will install the garbage programs we don't want.  Just ignore it and click the Download button a second time.

-Sometimes these websites will open a new tab and send you to some other stupid website (usually blocked by PPS, or maybe they not).  

IF this happens to you, just ignore and close this new tab and go back to where you were and click try again.
