Downloading from Autocar.uk: RTMP and flvstreamer

It looks like there is a new protocol in town, RTMP. And its annoying. I can't watch/listen to things at work, so I download them to disk for later viewing, but Firefox and wget don't understand this magical RTMP stuff. Took a while, but I got a utility based on an open source utility, somehow related to iPlayer. Many copy-pasta later and I have working FLV's. Here are the links to save you some time. Not for the technically challenged. I used cygwin btw. To get the URLs of videos, you have to grab the playlist file (Adblock) and view it to manually pick out the URL that contains rtmp://

When using the utility, sometimes it craps out. You just have to retry until you don't get a "failed" message.

Funny thing is, I plan on watching them with XBMC, and it appears that XBMC now supports RTMP

Oh well.
