Download and save MMS streams

MMS streams are multimedia broadcast streams that you can usally play in your Windows Media Player or even in WinAmp. There is was no easy way to download and save them to play back later. Here are two utilities that you can use to save MMS streams. Have fun!

gmms is a simple MMS-stream downloader based on mmsclient that works on both Windows® and Linux. MMS-streams are multimedia streams broadcasted on the Internet, following the MMS-protocol. The simple explanation is that with gmms, you can save every kind of stream having mms:// at the start of the download URL to your hard-disk. The stream can be and audio or video stream, as long as it's URL starts with mms://.
Download gmms: http://gmms.sourceforge.net/
MiMMS, a maintained version of "mmsclient", is a simple client to download streaming audio and/or video media from the internet using the MMS protocol (i.e. from mms:// type URLs, generally found in asx files). Downloaded streams can then be replayed offline at your leisure, using any compatible media player of your choice.
