Does anyone know how to D/L URLs like this one?

http://194.98.93.228:80/7/123/8725/v0001/msnent.download.akamai.com/8725/DBA90618/Video/300k/Britney_Spears_OverProtected_300.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf

If I paste it into Windows Media Player it plays back, but if I try to save it with either Streambox or Net Transport I just get a 1K file containing the same URl and another one like it.

I found the URL (an old Britney Spears video, not that it matters) on msn.com. Have Microsoft done something to media player to do this?

I had No Problem downloading the File, You just need to use a Program that can download Streaming ASF/WMV files useing the HTTP or MMS Protocol...what I use is a simple little Program called "windows Media Stream Recorder" you can get it here :

Download with StreamBox VCR using MMS(HTTP) Protocol or with Net Transport.

StreamBox VCR download problems or no video problems.

Thank you Minion and Veblin.

So All I have to do is change the "http" to "mms"? I didn't know it would be that easy!
