I mostly view porn on my mobile and would like to download videos I like for offline viewing. So I wrote a script for SL4A to grab videos from one of my favorite sites, xhamster.com without having to be a member of the site.
This could be adapted to be used on other sites though, if they provide a location to the video somewhere in the source of the page. You would need to fiddle around with the regex, but completely doable. You could also make it work for regular computers by removing the android stuff.
Furthermore, this can be an example on how to save stream or binary data from the web using python and some examples on using the limited UI sl4a has.
