I noted when trying

1st time I tried the page seemed to stay blank. I then turned on java and tried again and the page loaded up. Saved to notepad, 1.81MB.
I then tried again with java off (cleared cache first) downloaded OK multiple times, same size. Java a furfy.
Following blood.eaglz post #1128, ffmpeg bombed out with some message HTTP error 404 not found
'a' not recognised as an internal or external command.
I was trying tonights 4corners. Used
ffmpeg -i https://abcsecurehttp-a.akamaihd.net...2eb4112ecbe496 -c copy -y fourcorners-The_merchants_of_debt.mp4
Out of curiosity I tried just the url
https://abcsecurehttp-a.akamaihd.net...2eb4112ecbe496
in my browser (firefox) and a file save window appeared. I saved the file, downloaded at 1MB/s, just a few minutes. It was a perfectly playable 215 MB mp4.
Tried the same with Injustice_01_05. Also OK. 210MB.
Both of these did not download with iViewNapper_20140222
Is this usable or is there an unaceptable resolution?
I tried a few other recent programs and it appeared to work.
Can someone else try this method?
Good Luck.
Worked like a charm, thank you for the simple tip. I used Google Chrome browser. (Right click and 'save as', etc, in my case - since I am not sure there was any 'file save window' there or not.)
