Then use your favorite multi-part downloader to fetch the video from the <abc:videoAsset> tag.

Try as I might, I get only 100K - 150K of the asset listing. The first 100K comes almost immediately, then it gets way slower - after 10 minutes I now have 400K (less than 1/6 of the data, I estimate). Generally it fails eventually, with curl saying "transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining"
I can't see any curl options that would explain or mitigate this behaviour.
Once I have the asset descriptor, downloading it is no problem at all, but without the descriptor it's a tad difficult. Oddly, iview-gtk has no problem downloading the list, but the list is then inside iview-gtk, and no use to me. iview-cli cannot download the list, which I find even odder (unles iview-gtk is showing me a cached list, I suppose).
iview-gtk cannot actually download items though - whatever method it's using is failing, and has been since about April 10 for me. That's why I'm looking at alternative download methods.
