I downloaded an avi file directly from RapidShare on my iPad using an app and opened it with AVPlayerHD but now I want to transfer it to my mac. Is there a way?

I tried going to iTunes -> Apps -> File Sharing -> AVPlayerHD but there is an option to add files but my current files on the app are not being shown. If they were I would just directly use the save to button. Before upgrading to iOS 5 these current files (on the app) would be displayed.
 
There is a way if you do HTTP/FTP server. Connect to the website (or FTP site) the AVPlayer HD tells you and download it that way. It is very slow if you do it as HTTP, I had more luck using FTP to transfer back to my PC. But FTP is a bit more technical. On PC, my client of choice is FlashFXP and it did not show me the file list. Filezilla worked perfectly. I do not know anything about Mac FTP clients, but if you can't see files, try another client.
