SlideShare.NET Slides Downloader
This is a release I did yesterday. It downloads presentations in the form of slides and other popular media from SlideShare, world's largest community for sharing presentations. I made this because most of the uploaders had disabled the download which means you have to view it online every-time you want to. Having said that, it downloads presentations, both public and private, in two possible formats. The first one, which is the most common media format on SlideShare, is Flash files. The second one is the raw file, which can be either in MS Powerpoint, Adobe Reader or MS Word format. For the presentations that are downloadable on the site, you still have to sign up and login every-time you want to download it.The downloader will use a dummy account to login at the start of the application and will use that information to download raw files. If the download is disabled, the default method of finding out the slides is used. Also, you can view the downloaded presentation slides by clicking the very first menu item. Just be sure that you provide valid folder and that the folder doesn't contains anything other than the slides. The application follows a pattern to validate the directory. Anyways, here are the screenshots:

I've only done basic exception handling, so don't panic out if something goes wrong. Most probably, poor internet connection will cause a problem !
I know it won't be much good for a game hacking forum, but can be helpful for someone.
Cheers,
