This one:

<http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODE2Nzg5MTY=.html>

FlashGot in Firefox only sees one 13mb file - that's far too small. In Safari
via Activity Window (after the video playing to completion) there are quite a
few 12 or 13 mb files, but double-clicking any one gives a 404 error, &
downloading one...well it won't (download window gives an error message.
Forgot what it is and as I've closed Safari now that activity seems to have
been wiped).

Cheers ... Mark

It seems to be a 7 minute excerpt- including the front titles.
Downloadhelper in Firefox gets that okay. but that seems to be all
that's available.

Are you expecting to get the whole play?

It seems to be a jolly slow site, by the way. Trying to stream the piece
directly is hopeless.

Aaaaaargh.

It's all there, but it won't automatically get all the bits. You have to
move along the time line of the stream, starting DownloadHelper in each
individual section. What a drag; and the site is tectonically slow.
Horrid.

Yes, it is slow, although I got to one point (I forget how far along) and
from there it played fine. As you say, it does appear to be in chunks or
sections, although I thought as they were .flv files I could use Safari's
Activity window and re-combine after, but as mentioned above, it wouldn't
work

Around 40 minutes in, it did seem to be a bit better, but then seconds
later it was sticky again.

In that way, it's a pretty terrible site... Are they using dialup...?
