Yahoo! doesn’t support resuming and I assume you’re trying to use a download accelerator. This has been tried and won’t work.

This is a superb site for HD Movie downloads. Thanks for publishing such a website. I am having just one problem with downloads; whenever I resume a download, it asks for a password. Do I have to register for that? Although I don’t see a link to register. Please help!

Thanks for at least checking for me, even thought it’s not HD. I appreciate it.

I took a quick look, but didn’t see anything obvious. If I get a chance later, I’ll investigate.

I’m trying to download a clip, but having problems. The url seems to be different than for trailers. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info!

I’ve just wrote a small script to simplify the process:

Unfortunately no. The closest thing I can see happening is a bittorrent file created with all the trailers and having people share. You can try using DTA (DownThemAll – extension on firefox) do it on a per page basis.

I made a little C# app where you can put the yahoo movie id into a command and it will spit back the SIDs for clips.

Download here: lucas.myfalk.com\YahooClips.zip

For the movie Wanted:

Command: YahooClips.exe 1809878244 > C:/Clips.txt

Weird. I know Yahoo trailers have problems with download accelerators, but it should work fine with just the standard IE right click > Save as.

I assume Orbit is also another download accelerator like Flashget which allows you to download multiple parts of the file simultaneously to download faster.

As noted earlier, Yahoo trailers have problems with download accelerators.

If you set the download accelerator to only do 1 connection at a time, it should work. If not, try a different browser like Firefox or download tool such as wget.

Hey guys when i download a trailer from yahoo i can only get to a certain point ~3Mb then it freezes. It happens with IE and FlashGet as well as Orbit the two download programs i use. But with these two if i pause and then resume it countinues then stops again at around ~6 Mb. I could do this till the trailer is finished but i can’t sit 45 minutes at night just to pause and resume. BTW the Orbit program can do 77 Mb then stop and have to repeat the process.
What can i do to solve this problem.

Thanks!! That was it. When I had my script scraping the URLs from the source, the & was there so it’d look right when viewed with a browser. I’ve removed all the “amp”s and it worked great.

Thanks Again.

I think I found your problem. You’re using & in your URL, which actually gets decoded into & when you save it through a web browser.

The & is actually a special character that needs to be encoded to be html friendly.
