Trouble with a couple amazingdiscoveries.tv streams.

Trouble with a couple amazingdiscoveries.tv streams.

 

Hey all,

amazingdiscoveries.tv has a bunch of lectures that I'd like to d/l in high quality. All their Hi-Qual vidz are for paying customers only, however they have low and medium quality vidz available for free. By analyzing the patterns of the Low&Med quality streams, I can figure out the hi-Qual locations easily enough, but NetTransport is having trouble with a few for some unknown reason. Was wondering if someone might be able to help me:

example
Lecture 1

It's lectures 4+9 that I'm having problems with. All the others download fine with no problems, but these ones crawl at a measly 1-2kb/sec and would take aprox. 150hrs. to complete at that pace when all the 9 other lectures in the series recorded in real-time and were done in around 1hr&30min each. Anyone else have this problem? I'm downloading with NetTransport, and HiDownload wouldn't even recognize the streams to begin with :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

As you already have the URLs, you can try to download with rtmpdump.

Or you can use other RTMP downloading/capturing software, for example, my favorite Replay Media Catcher:

Hey, I figured it out with NetTransport. All I had to do was replace the ID info at the end of the URL (?cid=1708&aid=288443&afid=412732) and replace it with ".flv". Not sure why I didn't think of it earlier. The files are downloading in real-time now. Thanks so much for the tip. It actually came to me when I saw that rtmpdump needed a URL ending in .flv, so I gave it a shot in NT and the rest is history.

Thanks again! This forum rocks!
