Programmes/software for downloading online video

Right, I'm currently stuck with the fantastic download speed of 0.5mbps on my home broadband - there's nothing we can do about it: no cable in the street, and it's purely a result of distance from the exchange with no prospect of upgrades in the near future. This is somewhat limiting: I cannot watch iPlayer, youtube, etc - hell, I can't even upload photos to my flickr a/c unless I set it off overnight!

So, is there RELIABLE software or programmes that I could use to download/save videos from the likes of youtube and BBC iPlayer? The idea being I can set them off to download then watch the video/programme back without lag/interruption once completely downloaded. I've tried a couple of free ones online (can't recall which) but nothing's worked so far.

Any suggestions welcomed. Happy to buy a programme if it'd reliably work, but free is good too...
 
Excellent, thanks guys. I didn't know that existed! That's me sorted for iPlayer stuff, looks like a 30-day expiry on programmes, not bad.

Just to figure out what I can use for the likes of youtube, etc.

Anyone?
