Net Transport : Java Glossary

aka NetTransport aka Xi Net-Xfer is a $25.00 USD shareware program from Xi Software in China that lets you download files by various streaming protocols such as MMS and RTSP, cloaked RTSP, RTMP, RTMPT, Flash, BitTorrent, eMule, RN5 authentication, SSL and SSH encryption. It understands Russian dolls such as .asx, .smi to acquire real URLs. Works on. This is useful for example if you want a permanent copy of a video presentation, rather than just view it online. This is a very technical program. The documentation will sail over the head of most people wanting to use it. The menus are deeply nested like a rabbit warren. You can do fancy things like load a file with several threads at once to speed the download.

Somebody needs to write a step-by-step tutorial for people who don’t understand and perhaps don’t want to understand the technology behind it.

The author is very co-operative. Even before I registered the progam, I sent him the URL of a file I was having trouble downloading, and asked if the fault was mine or the program’s. He sent me back the magic settings within hours. It turned out all I needed to download a mms: video was, was click download ⇒ properties ⇒ other settings ⇒ streaming ⇒ via HTTP
