That's pretty neat & does work well.
Though I have had some times where ... I'm going to say if the FlashGot Media icon appears, presumably with a valid link, though the actual playback has not yet begun, perhaps ? then link isn't sent to the (external) download manager?
Something of that nature, I'll have to pay better attention.
And then I've had cases too where even though playback has started, the link wasn't always firing to the download manager?
Another thought, that perhaps instead of closing the page altogether, you could instead kill (stop) the media playback? That way the media is no longer streaming, but if something went wrong with the capture, the page would still remain for you to refresh (though a Ctrl+Shift+T [perhaps different in FF?] should reopen the tab).
