It's a pity that we cant dowload subtitle for videos at TED.COM.  Some people have written

desktop software and web app to solve the problem.But now these things can't work at all.

Maybe TED changed  the contents ofweb page. So I write the script using Perl today.

 It could get subtitle file from TED.COMand convert it to SRT format(SubRip Subtitle File).

 The script  could just work,I 'll make it perfect next week. Enjoy it!
