> Nah, wget doesn't recognize the protocol. The realplayer system is designed so that you can't download them, only watch them as a stream, frame by frame. But I'm sure there must be a, dare I say it, 'backdoor'. What about a modified version of realplayer that can record the stream to file?
actually, i remember being able to do this before in the past. ie
wget http://server/real.rm actually worked and grabbed the proper rm file.
ofcourse conveniently enough, i just tried it now on the first site i found
and it failed :P
Perhaps this was once an issue with earlier realservers, but was fixed
with one of the more current reseases?
