How do I download a really LARGE video from youku?

I went to keepvid, my favourite download-videos site, and it almost managed it - breaking the file up into tiny bits

but when I "left-clicked" it didn't work out in the end - it made like it was going to download in the normal way and then just hit a blank and didn't go any further with it

If anyone has ever managed to download a large (say 1 to 2 hour) video from youku, please let me know how. If you haven't, maybe no need to reply, since I have researched a fair bit myself and tried out many things that all failed.

Success stories only, please! I doubt anyone will solve this one unless they can read chinese, alas. I mean if the chinese networks are always putting videos that size UP, they MUST have sites for loading them down, as it were. I've only learned a handful of chinese characters so far, so I'm kind of years away from managing to look this problem up in the language of those most likely to solve it, alas.

However before I go to bed i suppose I'll give it another shot...

What is your definition of "really LARGE"?

I've been downloading videos from youku using Firefox and the SoThink SWF Catcher and it works really great. It doesn't break up the files or anything, but it still gets the job done. You might want to give it a try, although the largest file I've tried downloading is but a gig or two.

by really large, as I said, I mean 1 to 2 hour videos!

Thanks for trying to help, but I need an online downloader because I use an apple mac and not only that it's obsolete and using an os X version which was declared unstable and cannot run ANY normal mac applications* (lucky thing most of my commercial life happens on a commandline... you can walk on the commandline freely from even the rubbishest slowest least stable machines in the world).

Cheers, though.


*on the plus side, that includes viruses!
