On previous versions of OS X I used to be able to go to a file in Safari, click and drag on the favicon and take it over to my downloads window, which would then download that file.
So for instance if i was listening to this file and wanted to download it in Lion. All I had to do was drag the icon in the address bar over to the download window.
Now I can't do that anymore. In fact I have no idea how to download that file except to make a webpage with the a href and then right click the link.
Actually, in Safari 6.x when the location bar has focus, ⌘+S brings up the export dialog to save the current page as an archive.
That's not what you want, however.
You want to download some component from a site like an mp3 or a Java jar that you know the path to, but there's no exposed link.
⌥+↩ (option-return) to the rescue. Edit the URL in the location bar and press ⌥+↩. It will magically transfer over to the download view, just like you used to be able to drag it.
You can just press ⌘S, or press ⌥↩ when the location bar has focus.
You can also right-click the media player and select the Download Video option in the contextual menu.
