www.thehorseshow.com: viewing/downloading steamhoster video on 384kb/s ADSL


I am trying to view or download the videos from this site:
Code:
http://www.thehorseshow.com/rfd_schedule.aspx
The problem is I only have a 384kb/s connection and video is basically unwatchable. I've tried Orbit Downloader and various other downloaders, all with the same result: Lots of dropped frames and out of sink audio, leaving the video still unwatchable. Usually with youtube and alike, I just pause the video and once completely buffered, I watch the video, but with streamhoster buffering stops when paused.

I've tried rtmpdump and got the following:

Code:
C:\Users\Willem>rtmpdump -r rtmp://fss28.streamhoster.com/lambemail/The Horse Sh
ow test/The_Horse_Show_Episode_278_Webcast.mp4 -e -o 278.mp4
RTMPDump v2.3

Any suggestions as to what I can do to see these videos. Aren't there any sites out there that will capture rtmp streams and convert them to another more download friendly format. Even if it is a pay site. Another possibility, is there perhaps free website code (user friendly and foolproof) that I could put on my own website (with more bandwidth) that will capture the stream and save it so I can download it from my site.

Unfortunately, upgrading to higher speed ADSL is not an option. I'm too far from the exchange.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
