Is this forum for advertising certain applications, or for actual help & discussion?

By recommending using demo versions of WM Recorder and Replay AV I obviously advertise them.

May be something changes on the server, but you can learn the concept:

• There are no problems recording these streams with WM Recorder in the PRO and ADA modes.
• There are no problems recording these streams with Replay AV
• There are no problems finding mms:// stream URLs with the demo version of Replay AV. NetTransport downloads fine from these URLs, and you can use any other streaming media recorder with MMS support.
• There are no problems finding http:// stream URLs with the demo version of WM Recorder and changing "http://" onto "mms://". NetTransport downloads fine from these URLs, and you can use any other streaming media recorder with MMS support.

The problems here are the following

• Stream URLs expire very quickly, so you have to use them fast or find the new ones.
• URL Snooper provides incorrect URLs

Yes! Finally! NetTransport is downloading a mix as we speak!
Well, thank you for your help. I feel that we could have solved this sooner if you had pointed out before that a) stream URLs expire very quickly, and b) the need to change the http:// to mms:// and use NetTransport. Anyway, I think we just created a great reference for people that want to download from livesets.com and I know there are a lot of them. Thanks.
