http://urldroplet.com/ - saves files directly to your online dropbox account.
I've found this to be really handy.
For example, let's say you're at work / abroad / on a mates laptop or on a secondary satellite netbook / ipad (Machine A) and you want to download a file from the internet to keep on your own main machine at home / elsewhere (Machine B) on which you have dropbox installed. Just enter the url on this site and it will automatically upload it you your dropbox without the need to store it, even temporarily, to your local machine. When you switch on dropbox on Machine B it will sync from your your dropbox online to your local hard drive. (Needless to say if your Machine B is already switched on with dropbox running it will sync automatically in real time)
e.g. I use it for saving music from blogs from whatever machine I'm on at the time directly to my main PC at home...
IT'S MAGIC!
