back to lausha's problem, i am now having the same problem as well. it didnt occur to me that id never tried to download a stream longer than 44 minutes. downloading a 1h 33m movie is getting irritating after the third try. im going to HOPE that i can pause/resume the way lausha did to get it to 99.9%, but the first two tries made the filesize jump from 900mb to 2046mb (or something close to that number), and the download never proceeds from maybe the 800mb point. (yeah, about 87 percent like the others.)

EDIT: yup. it jumps from like 903mb to 2756mb, even after pausing and refreshing the page a few times to get the video back to the correct bitrate. the resumed download is claiming to download around 25-30 Mb/s. this continues to slow down gradually, while the download stays at the same 807mb (i think about 88% when paused, now 29% because of the new 'resumed' 2756mb filesize).

i suppose theoretically that refreshing the page ends the uh... i dont know the word that im thinking of... refreshes your 'script?' so that the REST of the video is now on a different URL? to me, (if i can word this correctly) it seems like were not able to download the video fast enough before whatever page were using refreshes the stream URL. while just viewing regularly, it may just quickly buffer to the new URL, or may not even be noticed. has anyone tried downloading their 1-2gb file on anything faster than DSL? it took me about 20 minutes to get my 807mb. maybe with a faster connection, the time to download would beat the time for the site to refresh.

anyway, there just needs to be some sort of pause/resume function in GetFLV that downloads from the original URL. we just keep restarting the download for some reason. or yeah, as someone suggested, find a way to download the first and whatever other portion separately then splice together. piece of cake.. if it were at all possible..
