I like to use Fireant which downloads videos. I like it because playback is quicker when playing from my local drive. Also Fireant has a feature that allows you to set a maximum amount of disk space that you want the downloaded media to take up (once the max is reached it starts to delete the oldest files even if I haven't watched them.) AND I have it set to automatically delete files after I watch them.
