Trouble with a couple amazingdiscoveries.tv streams.

[cmdj1982]

Hey all,

amazingdiscoveries.tv has a bunch of lectures that I'd like to d/l in high quality. All their Hi-Qual vidz are for paying customers only, however they have low and medium quality vidz available for free. By analyzing the patterns of the Low&Med quality streams, I can figure out the hi-Qual locations easily enough, but NetTransport is having trouble with a few for some unknown reason. Was wondering if someone might be able to help me:

example

It's lectures 4+9 that I'm having problems with. All the others download fine with no problems, but these ones crawl at a measly 1-2kb/sec and would take aprox. 150hrs. to complete at that pace when all the 9 other lectures in the series recorded in real-time and were done in around 1hr&30min each. Anyone else have this problem? I'm downloading with NetTransport, and HiDownload wouldn't even recognize the streams to begin with

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

As you already have the URLs, you can try to download with rtmpdump.

Or you can use other RTMP downloading/capturing software, for example, my favorite Replay Media Catcher:

Hey, I figured it out with NetTransport. All I had to do was replace the ID info at the end of the URL (?cid=1708&aid=288443&afid=412732) and replace it with ".flv". Not sure why I didn't think of it earlier. The files are downloading in real-time now. Thanks so much for the tip. It actually came to me when I saw that rtmpdump needed a URL ending in .flv, so I gave it a shot in NT and the rest is history.

Thanks again! This forum rocks!
