The above information applies to older versions of Chrome. You will want to clear your browser cache before starting the video or while it is still locked in order to make it easier to identify the correct file (also sort the files by size since videos tend to be the largest). Do not close the lock because the file will be deleted! Instead use its Copy function to copy the file from the cache and rename it. Your best bet is to use a tool like Unlocker to copy it. The problem is that video-streaming sites not only lock the video file as it is being streamed (which means you cannot copy it), but they mark it with a flag that causes the OS to delete it immediately as soon as the lock is closed, so you cannot forcibly close the lock. If you don’t know that you want to keep it before starting, then unless you happen to have a packet-sniffer constantly running in the background for some reason, then your only option is to copy it from the browser cache (which may be difficult on a smartphone).
If you know that you want to keep the video before starting it, then you can use an extension, addon, or user-script (I recommend YousableTubeFix).
