    Download games from Kongregate without add-ons/softwares.

    I saw some guides to download Kongregate games from the archive, wich use external programs to do the job like Live HTTP Headers Add-On, Sothink SWF Catcher, UnPlug add-on for Firefox or sites like FILE2HD.com.
    I want to show you the basic on "how to" without all of this.
    Here we go, let's get a Kongregate game example :
    http://www.kongregate.com/games/krangGAMES/beloved

    1) Well, load the internet page and in your browser write view-source: just before the link.
    In our example this would be :
    It can be written without :http// it will be automatically put in as always happens with sites.

    2) You'll see the source code of the page, press ctrl+f and search for "swfobject.embedSWF".
    Different results will show, browse till you get the one wich has the title.swf of your game into, in this case :
    http://chat.kongregate.com/gamez/0014/1416/live/Beloved.swf?kongregate_game_version=13334592
    3) Copy-paste the link in another tab of your browser, you will open the full window page game.
    Now you just have to do a "save page as" and the process is done.
    Have fun!

    Advanced () second part of the tutorial :
    OK, there seems to be some games where the .swf link is "hided well" even in the source code.
    So, let's take a look at this game : http://www.kongregate.com/games/BeGamerCom/the-wok
    You can try, but you cannot find the exact link in its source code, so we have to make a workaround...
    ...let's do a collage

    1) First we have to search for something with "gamez" into wich is the store directory of our dear Kongregate site. We will find this :
    2) Second we need the string kongregate_game_version with its number, This is the result :
    "kongregate_game_version":"1327603852"
    3) Third part it's a bit harder, since we are looking for the filename.swf, normally is the game name, but they could hide it. Anyway for now it works. And the answer is...
    thewok.swf
    All is remained to do is to join the pieces into a formal link wich will start always with http://chat.kongregate.com and will have always a ? after the swf . This is the solution for our example (you are smart enough to understand what i also did) :
    Well, you can stick with the software method, but this is what you should do if you have only your browser in your hands.
    Have fun!
