It's an embedded vimeo video, you can use youtube-dl 'http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2ed_1437499489' --force-generic-extractor to download it.

Additional note: don't run youtube-dl as the root user, it's an unnecessary risk.

I understand, thank you.

It's my local vm playground test box without any important data.
