Two possible issues:

1. If you're using the demo version of GetFLV, it will not download more than around 10mb of the file.

2. If you're using the registered getflv version, but have downloaded a h.264 file (from hulu or many other sites) and getflv shows a red "x mark" - but the percentage downloaded shows around 73.x%, then the full file has probably downloaded.

This is because of the flv container currently used by hulu and other sites. Getflv doesn't interpret the time code data and length properly for these sorts of files - but getflv has downloaded the complete original file. You'll need a very updated flv codec and player in order to directly play these flv files from hulu properly. Or, it may just be easier to transcode them before you play them.
