This tool enables you to download streaming content in Windows Media Format
to your hard drive. The resulting files will be in ASF format and can be
played with Windows Media Player and derived tools.
You may call this the "DeCSS" for Windows Media - although neither any
serious reverse-engineering nor any particular knowledge about protcols was
necessary to program this simple application.
Development time overall: several hours for a first, working streaming code
and some more days for general performance tweaking, cross-platform
portability, the Windows graphical user interface and the XML (redirection
file) parser.
