Hard drive filling up from streaming videos?

[Xionare]

My hard disk space slowly gets filled up whenever I stream videos from websites and I can't find where they are being saved. My last free 8 gigs filled up after a few days of watching video. Can anyone tell me how I can locate the files and how to prevent this from continuing?

I tried searching all the regular spots you'd look like downloads, documents, video folders, etc etc. Is there a way I can search by file size or something?

Thanks in advance.

if it's flash go to the website you're streaming from then in the video window try and find a configure/options/settings menu where you can set the amount of storage dedicated to flash see if that helps
