That may clue you in on the true download, or at least get you started. From looking at it, we have a bunch of stuff. You could call the action of the form with the responses embedded in the URL(a get type form) That may work(it has for me in the past.)

I got two answers... The first part: As I recall, RTSP is a RealMedia protocol. We used it when I was involved with KDVS RealAudio streaming. RealPlayer can handle both RTSP and HTTP URI. The difference is, with HTTP you can't jump around the media stream, but RTSP lets you. So with RTSP you can start playing from 5 minutes into the media stream, but with HTTP you gotta wait for the 5 minutes worth of file to download first before you can play the 5 minutes into the file. It was my impression that you can only use RealMedia files with RTSP protocol but apparently that's changed over the years (or I've just never been aware of it.) Whatever the case, it's using RTSP protocol so you can jump around the media stream. Also, the server is streaming media using RTSP protocol which makes it harder to download the media file (it doesn't use port 80, for one, and it communicates with the client for best streaming technique.) One more thing: If you reference RTSP to a server that doesn't have a proper RTSP media streaming server, RealPlayer will fall back on HTTP. So even if you see rtsp://, it may still be HTTP (so you can still download the file normally using wget or whatnot). But if the RealPlayer falls back to HTTP then you can't jump around the media stream anymore. The second part: The streams are coming from one of the Akamai servers. These servers are used to distribute server loads. When you reference a website, it'll bring up the website with links to Akamai servers that are nearest to your location (or its best guess.) Then you click on a link, and you'll be connected to the Akamai servers nearest to your location. You'll generally see only big media files on Akamai servers for several reasons I won't get into since this e-mail is already too long. Anyway, the URI looks funky it was generated automatically by some Akamai program (Akamai also has other customers, so the URI needs to be non-clashing with other customers'. Furthermore, it's gotta be fast so they may use some URI referencing tricks to make the database access faster). In short, the whole thing is a URI, not just the latter half, and the URI looks funky because it's automatically generated by some program. -Mark -- Mark K.
