I just discovered two places to download video (legally): vodeo.tv and francetvod.fr. Both are French language sites and have so many videos available on a great variety of topics: sports, current events, science, gastronomy, travel, etc. And you can pay via Paypal (micro payments — many videos are only 1.99 EUR). The cooking videos are fantastic! You get to see how to make terrines, pastries, and many more delights.
