Thanks Neil, My new attempt this afternoon was 100%, playback in VLC is ok. Terminal showed "download completed 99.9%"
Where do I find iViewFox ? (to check the RTMPDum timeout) Can't see it under applications. Is it part of Firefox ? But have looked in the FF preferences, can't see it there either, thanks again, Walter On 29/03/2011, at 11:12 , Neil Houghton wrote: > > Hi Walter, > > Sometimes the download fails part of the way through - you should always > check the final message in the terminal window before you close it. > > If the download has completed you will see that it shows 100% (or sometimes > 99.9%) and says it has completed. > > If it fails part way through - due, I think, to the video stream pausing - > you will see a lower percentage and some message saying the download may not > be complete. > > When that happens, you get just what you report when playing back in VLC - > how long it plays obviously depends on how much was downloaded before the > problem occurs. > > Although there is some message (in the Terminal window) that says resuming > may help, as far as I know there is no easy way to actually resume the > download - I just download the program again (very frustrating if it got to > 90% before failing!) > > One thing which seems to help is increasing the RTMPDum Timeout in the > iViewFox Preferences - this is a bit of a subjective opinion, but it seems > to me I get less fails since I did this - particularly if downloading more > than one program at a time. > > > HTH > > > Cheers > > > > Neil > -- > Neil R.
