Is there anyway to save something on to your computer that is being streamed from the internet?

Nopes. It comes directly from the site and most disable all the ways you could find out the source

Dang it Thanks anways

The streaming is most sites way of getting you to pay more to download. They have taken alot of precautions to prevent people taking the files.  Silly people

if it's streaming from a built in wmp, sometimes you can right click it and look at properties to find a direct link... and then save that through your normal wmp.
but only sometimes

You can't save a stream as a file which is what TylerG wants. You can save it as a link which you can play at any time, but it's being downloaded straight from the link at all times so it can't be saved.

i'm not sure what you want, but you can record it with things like this.

maybe you can use a sound recorder, like windows sound recorder or maybe the creative labs (soundblaster sound cards) sound recorder and then change the format to .mp3 (originally is a .wav)

If you're using WMP, you could try going to File/Add to Library then clicking on Add currently playing item. This will save the stream into your media library so you can open up your library and play it anytime you want. It's the closest thing u can get to actually saving the streaming file to your computer. I have used it to save streaming radio links.

You can try this.
