Hidownload and Flastget Problem downloading rtsp:// .rm Real Media streams

Hi,

I am trying to download .rm film under rtsp:// with HiDownload . I don't know why Hidownload can only download part of the whole video.

For Example, the video is 50 minutes, the downloaded .rm file is perfectly playable, but is only 30 minutes.

I am trying to download a list of files in the series, some can be downloaded completely, some only got 10 minutes less, some even only last for 3 minutes!!

Any expert here, know why this happen and how I can solve it?

I have another problem when I was using "flashget" to download the same series of files.

All the files can be downloaded completely, but the download is not continuous. For example, when I download a file with only 1 thread, the download continues for 2 minutes, then data download rate drop to 0 for like 3 minutes, then suddenly download rate goes back to normal, then suddenly download rate drop to 0 again. This pattern goes on for the whole download and it happens on every file.

Many thanks for all your help!

I don't really see many Real Media streams anymore. In my previous tests I had lots of problems downloading rtsp:// .rm video lectures. The most reliable download manager for Real Media streams for me was NetXFer. It wasn't ideal. It didn't show any errors, but some files were not downloaded completely, so I was forced to re-download them.

I have just tried to "enforce" the start and end time in Hidownload, but it still stop itself without downloading the whole piece....
