I got a full DL after 2 incomplete interruptions [timeout/slow lag]. It fails a lot at launch sometimes so rehitting/refreshing/restarting is needed initially but it works so beautifully once it gets a stream. Fast net connection and working it off your default web browser are the only requisites. It sniffs faster from browsers designated by you as your default ones. For example if you have set IE or Firefox as default browser it will be hard to sniff off Chrome. So these are the only technical aspects that need consideration. Mostly common sense stuff.
I had a couple of scares due to incomplete downloads on account of timeout/netlags. You need less traffic [so a late night DL needed] or faster high end net connection to avoid these lags. I just need to know how to resume a timeout download as currently it restarts from scratch and avoids resume. It says I should resume download but I don't know what commands/process does the same? Not an issue with unlimited net package but for people with limited download contracts, it would help know how to resume stopped DL to avoid overusing their accounts.
Thanks for an excellent suggestion. Despite it's drawbacks it is the best option over expensive softwares like
TubeDigger,
GetFLV [both work well but are expensive to buy], complex rtmp dumps processes among others. Most recommended softwares simply don't make the cut. Plenty of them download pre-loading ads and miss the main rtmp movie sniff [
StreamTransport,
CooJah + Blader,
Rip Tiger,
Orbit Downloader, Krojam etc.].
Replay Media Catcher fails to live to it's billing as it detects the stream, but abandons the download as it runs up against a wall of protection watermark.
Video capturing screen grabbers work well but it leaves you with a video grab full of buffering pauses in runtime as they do a frame by frame duplication of the whole capture as it plays off screen. This rtmpexplorer is so damn easy to use and so best without spending any extra dime. Just takes some time, patience and pestering with slow net connection is all.
On a side note I found increasing buffer settings helped download better and faster despite same netlags than default settings of 50:4.
