Hey I worked for me also. I don't know what I was doing before.
Probably a brain-fart. I even got weird and tried wget on the URL. It
worked also.

A problem for sure and when using wget also. How do I record a one hour
program in the middle of the day each week-day. Streamripper has a -l
(length) switch but mplayer doesn't and I still have to look at the man
page for wget to see if there is a time/size limit switch/option.
So the options appear to be hack the mplayer code and add a limiting
switch which is well beyond my capabilities. Or find/write a simple
program/script/whatever to kill the process after a length of time.
Before I do this does anyone know, off the top of their head, if such
functionality already exists?
Cheers,
Rod
