Re: Download from Hulu from outside the US: GetFLV + IE's Fiddler2 + Hulu


hi. i tested GetFLV positive on the Hulu website, that is correct. I am not sure but GFLV adopts proxying information from your system's standard web browser application software tool. If your standard browser (or default browser) is Firefox, then it will use Firefox web browsing technology in its GUI. but i am not sure as i said. some getflv tech support should explain the details.

i dont live in USA and i dont have any interest in watching Hulu. that's why i dont know of any recommendable FREE solution for US-outsiders like you and me. Watching Hulu from US-surrounding countries like Hawaii, Seattle, Canada, or Alaska territories is always possible if you are willing to pay for some vpn subscription service with a monthly fee.

I performed my Hulu w/GFLV testing with a temporary proxy of type B-3 (afaik) and with such a setup you can download only 300MB videos. (and my chosen B3 had many downsides, so i wont recommend or detail on this, sorry)

The vast majority of other proxy types (A series, C series) dont work with Hulu, and you'll get some error message by Hulu saying "you are trying to access Hulu with proxy methods from outside the US, sorry". Hulu is very smart in this respect. Whenever it detects any kind of proxy (it is very easy to tell if someone's using a proxy or not. i can tell.), it refuses to play/stream the ****ographic material

If Hulu is important to you, then invest in some vpn service (there are hundreds (or thousands?) of offers on google.com!!), also get a purchased version of GetFLV (the Golden Version) (the Pro Version wont help ... ), and then you're all set. vpn costs maybe US$2.99 per month if you go for the cheapest.

Good luck. And no more fiddeling!!
