How many times you like to locally save the streaming media, and you can't find any appropriate tool to accomplish this simple task. Thanks to Net Transport (NetXfer), now it's a piece of cake to do it with the help of this magic tool. Net Transport can download MMS and RTSP streaming by multiple threads with perfect video & audio quality. There are some other great features, like "Site Manager" which allows you to keep the active connection with the remote servers. In addition, the support for both SSL and SSH is hardly found in other upload/download tools.
Main Features
1. You can use the simple but powerful "File Manager" to categorize and manage downloaded files more efficiently.
2. Simple multi-user management. You can maintain several databases by logging on Windows with different username.
3. You can use the inbuilt "Site Explorer" to list the directory structure of the remote server, and easily select the desired files. FTP is the most powerful item in NetXfer.
4. FTP reuse mechanism allows you to use one connection to get different files from the same site. If you like, you can use accessory FTP client tool called "FTP Transport (FtpXfer)".
5. The "Multiple Proxies mode" allows you to assign every working thread a different proxy to break certain site restrictions, like only one connection per IP.
6. Proxies with NTLM authentication can penetrate local firewall, like Microsoft ISA 2000.
7. You can adjust the bandwidth usage of Net Transport to ensure surf at the same time.
8. Monitor browser click. And you can add links through Internet Explorer extended context menu, or drag links to the "drop zone" window, etc.
9. Net Transport can automatically shutdown the system or hang up the modem once all downloads are completed.
10. Multilingual support for the user interface. I will be glad if you help me localize NetXfer.
11. NTLM authentication is supported for both MMS and RTSP. In addition, RN5 authentication works for RTSP.
12. You can use multi-threads for both MMS and RTSP to significantly reduce the time of downloads.
13. Automatically parse streaming script such as .asx, .smi to acquire real URLs.
14. Support SSL encryption for both HTTP and FTP, which is called https and ftps. Also support one-time password to protect your authentication information. Normally password is in the form of clear text, which is easily stolen by IP packet monitor tools. Presently NetXfer is the only one can download https streaming via SOCKS5.
15. Support SSH encryption, which is hardly found in other upload/download tools for Windows.
16. The flexible "Scheduler Manager" is also most powerful item in NetXfer. Even you can record the dynamic URL according to time and save it as your desire filename.
17. In version 2, you can record the clip with range.
18. On BitTorrent protocol, you can use proxy to download, upload by UPnP. NetXfer supports HTTP/HTTPS/UDP Tracker.
New in Net Transport
1. Added Metalink Specification (Metalink), supported verifying SHA-1, MD5, MD4 checksums. Please click URL right "..." button to choose ".metalink" extension to select metalink file in the task dialog; or download .metalink URL directly.
2. Fixed that the default "Customize filename" rule renamed the destination file to "index.htm".
3. Added option to go on downloading when HTTP server responds "Not Found".
4. Added feature for Sniffer to catch Flash URL under Mozilla serial browsers.
>> Cool features
1. Streaming download.
2. FTP is an excellent feature with the flexible "Site Manager", supports SSL, SSH.
3. "Schedule Manager" is also cool, you can start a job at any time. Even you can record the dynamic URL according to time and save it as your desire filename.
>> How to change the default download folder?
From 2.01, I removed the "Path" field in the "Options/Download". You can just change the "Directory" of root node "Job" in the left "folder" pane. NetXfer has a great file manager from it was born.
>> How to add scheduler?
1. Open "Other Settings/Schedule" tab.
2. Click "Add".
3. Check days and enter the start/end time.
4. Click "OK".
>> Some streaming files could not be downloaded. Is it true?
Use HTTP protocol to try to download these files as normal ones. Sometimes RTSP can be converted to HTTP, MMS can also be converted to MMS(HTTP), even to HTTP. Please try these ways.
>> How do I bypass the click monitor of Net Transport?
There are two methods:
1.Check "Options/Monitor/Confirmation". When dialog "Job" appears, pressing button "cancel".
2.Uncheck "Monitor browser click" in the Drop Zone Window or Tray context (right-click) menu.
>> The "Download All By Transport" and "Download using Transport" (in IE extend context menu) options don't work. Why?
Under installation path run "DelKeys.exe /Add" to fix.
>> Why some HTTP URLs cannot be downloaded by Transport?
Some sites require referrer URL (where the user is from), for example, download NVTESetup.EXE from this site, please enter the origin into the "Job/Referrer" dialog. And some sites require cookies, please check the "Job/Other settings/Download/Cookie" item.
>> Downloaded file is not what I want or an error. For example, the downloaded file extension is "zip" but cannot be opened by WinZip. Why?
I estimate the URL does not point to the actual file but a WEB page such as acknowledgement, server selection, etc. there are two solutions:
1.Check "Options/Monitor/Confirmation", when "Job" dialog appears the first time, pressing button "cancel", when it shows a second time, pressing "OK", because this time the URL should be real.
2.Check "Options/Monitor/Parse URL", let Net Transport help you find the real URL, but this feature will slow down your browser.
>> How to use category management feature? How to set default download folder?
You can maintain every category except the top "Job" by menu "Category" or category window context menu. Create a new category you want to make as the default folder, then open the dialog "Job", select it in "category" field (also modify its "Directory"), and press the "Save settings" button. After jobs are finished, files will be moved to that folder automatically.
>> I found when downloading via RTSP, the progress is over 100%, but the job was still running, and I also found the temporary files under installation path were growing at the same time, which is eating my hard disk space, it's horrible.
Because the packet length of RealMedia file isn't fixed and streaming file size is evaluated and not very accurate, it's very difficult even impossible to write packet data into one file like other protocols. My resolution is, every thread downloads its dispatched part, after receiving end notify, Net Transport unites them into one final file then delete those temporary files. For better video and audio quality, every thread would download a bit extra bytes to find the resume point. Above 2 things may cause progress over 100%. So I recommend you install Net Transport under a large logical disk (8G and more), don't remind the ugly progress. In merging process, Net Transport uses nearly 100% CPU resource due to a large amount of disk operation, please be patient. Since more threads more long waiting time, I strongly recommend only run 1-2 threads every job, and check "Job/Other settings/Streaming/Delivery bandwidth" to accelerate download.
What's new in Net Transport 2.55 Build 392
1. Enhanced thread mutex lock.
2. Fixed that eMule could not handle uncompleted data packet.
3. Updated user manual.
