Thank you All, Good tip, should have thought of looking into /tmp, or the browser cache. = I=20 did some comparative playbacks and xine/gxine drop frames like mad, while=20 mplayer manages a pretty respectable output. Therefore the problem seems t= o=20 be not on the download but the playback. Hmm, why would that be? BTW, xine-check comes back good across the piece: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D $ xine-check Please be patient, this script may take a while to run...
