in thread What's wrong with Perl 6?

Do you, or anyone, know if the video of Audrey's presentation is available for direct download anywhere? Preferably somewhere that supports resumable file transfers.

I found it on google video, but trying to watch streaming video via dialup is pointless and trying to reliably unpick the google video urls to get the file with wget seems to be pretty much impossible.

    Do you, or anyone, know if the video of Audrey's presentation is available for direct download anywhere? ... I found it on google video,

    The Google video page has a button on the right hand side of the window to download the video.

    She's not only smart, but funny too. Even with the tough crowd. :)

      Can you, or anyone, confirm that the "video ipod/Sony PSP" format (184MB) version of the video from google can be played with Quicktime 7 or WMP or DivX player?

      I downloaded 1% which is usually enough to verify that something I have will play the file, but nothing I have will touch it. QT says it has an invalid header and the DivX player refuses to try, because it knows I haven't got he whole file. It's strange, because I've got numerous "ipod format" and mp4 format podcasts and the same trick of downloading a small percentage and verifying they play, worked with all of them.

      I've verified I could play the other option, Windows/Mac format version, but it is considerably larger, 250MB. And worst of all, the server refuses to allow resume for that format. There's no way I'd be able to get it all in one go.

      Damn! I wish I could get broadband here :(
