Thanks. Actually downloading the files is not what I need. The nice
thing about MMS is that the stream can be fast forwarded and rewinded
as if it were local. One can even play it at double or half speed (or
anything in between) as if it were a local file. As the lectures are
over 1 GB in size, I'd rather watch them streaming than download them
in their entirety.

Thank for the tip, though.
