Anyone tried using Firefox for the actual downloads?

Now that we've been rudely flung from the akamai world of rtmp streaming to that of adobe http dynamic streaming (and hope that there's a buffering/multi-threading/downloading solution on the horizon), I've finally had a chance this evening to go down the new long-winded downloading path:

- rather than extra addons, just used coojah6 the url sniffer;
- tweaked the bitrate in the video url;
- downloaded with Firefox, saving as .mp4 file;
- had concurrent downloads running in Firefox;
- although the initial file-size is reported as 2GB, it stops without problem once the actual (much shorter) stream finishes;
- remuxed ok with ffmpeg;
