Grig...is there anyway that Brainhose can download the actual .wmv files?
Only by using Net Transport as I outlined (or a similar program). http and mms are file transfer protocals, and browsers don't support mms transfers. The server notes what protocol is being used and if it's http, it sends the shortcut file, if it's mms, it sends the video file. That's why you need a program like Net Transport.
