I wonder if Utube have any way of telling if something has actulally been
"downloaded". After all, the file has to be fetched from their server in
order for the software on your machine to actually play it.

Yes, and in XP for example, the downloaded file is then in the temporary
internet files folder (along with all the other cached stuff). If you find
such a file (generally the largest one or the most-recently accessed it'll
be named / typed according to its URL. But if you copy it to another
directory and renamed it eg to XYZ.SWF (ie a flash file) and doubleclcik it,
it works just like any other file.
