The best software for downloading/capturing Windows Media and or Real Media streams

[placebo]

hoooohh.. for saving (let's call it "saving" instead of downloading and or capturing) Windows Media and or Real Media streams, there are better [sic] [sorry] tools out there than WM Recorder. I know 2 better. Well. At least 1. (the other one of the 2 is WM Downloader, by a Chin*se coder/company). I've tested WM Recorder but i am not really happy with the GUI and ease of use. And download results. In fact, downloading WM/RM from rtsp or mms 100% correctly (exact server file copy, crc32) is high art and all commercial tools (except for 1) on the market (NetXFer/NetTransport, HiDownload , WM Recorder, WM Downloder, RMC3, RMC4, FlashGet, FlashGot, Thunder, Orbit Downloader, Internet Download Manager, DownloadHelper, etc etc) don't do a 100% perfect job. They do a 99.6% job, and files play in their respective applications (WMP, RP), so why would the average he or she dare to complain? no big deal, right? Well, for techies and perfectionists (and maybe i am ) such a download result is dissatisfactory. ((In order to know whether a file is 0.4% different (crc32) from the original server file or 100% identical with it, you, of course, need to possess the original server file as reference; otherwise any attempt to do comparisons isnt valid. hehe. but that's another story ))
