I do not know if this has anything to do with download failures, but I have noticed on Youtube and Hulu that both have changed in that part of a movie is played and then a commercial is played which then takes one back to the movie.
The downloader sees an erronious end to the movie and assumes it is done when in fact, one only has part of the movie downloaded.

trio,

I do not think there is anything wrong with your application.
What I was getting at, is that Youtube and Hulu have started a practice of showing commercials at different times and then the movie continues.
When the movie pauses to play the commercial, it makes an app that looks for a stream end to think the movie has completed when in fact it has not.
As an example, not on the internet, but using PupRadio/Telly, I went to play a cartoon channel that showed cartoons one after another.
when a cartoon would end, the app assumed the stream had ended and shut it down.
I could then immediately restart the stream and the next cartoon would play and then shut down the stram again.

It is not a big thing, and the providers may do these things for copyright protection.

Saw this and wanted to know if this tool will save from any other sites, as well.

FF/SeaMonkey have a plug-in tool (several, in fact) that will do similar downloads from Youtube and other sites. I assume this is a replacement tool that can be run from the desktop. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance

Well, 1'm 99% sure that this won't work with any other tube sites ... unless those sites have exactly the same html page structure (how they put the video url) as youtube.

regards

Thanks to a PM now I know and the embarrassing thing is that I knew this a week ago and then forgot all about it.

I remember that somebody gave example on another site that they made a link to and there described how one could save even streaming video that was not Flash related.

They use CLI or Console or Terminal code to copy and change a cache file into a working file to be played by Mplayer or VLC.

I lost the link I was in another OS at the time.

Maybe somebody using puppy version older than Lupu can help me check if rxvt can be embedded in the you2pup window? does it still work even if it isn't embbedded or it doesn't work at all

thanks
