Save streaming WMV/ASF files

I'm trying to download a streamed video for a friend, from this website.

Upon digging through the webpage code, I found that the video file was located at

http://ms.radio-canada.ca/archives/2002/en...20000711et1.wmv

Now.... that opens in WMP as a streaming video, with no option to save. When I use a download manager to download it, I get a tiny file (definately not 3 minutes of video). After changing the extension to .txt and opening, I get

Ref2=http://192.168.99.129:80/archives/2002/en/wmv/oka20000711et1.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf

If I try to download oka20000711et1.wmv or oka20000711et1.asf, I get the same small file.

Any ideas?

Try using CoCSoft Stream Down, its download any streaming video that i have tried, the only problem is the last few secs of audio on each video is missing.

UPDATE: Just used it to download your video and it works, the file size is 6.95 MB,

Excellent... thanks!

I tried to find some other freeware stream savers, but all the links were out of date.
