>wrong link

Good catch.

>BITS should work

I'll give it another try tonight.

Thanks for the suggestion; it works quite well.

I really like the ability to download videos for watching at my own speed rather than my ISP's speed. Since my computer is a laptop, I frequently move around and gain and lose a network connection. Even when the laptop is docked at night, the high-speed "always-on" Internet connection seemingly goes down at random.

I know that Microsoft has solved this problem for Windows Updates by creating BITS and have tried to download Channel 9 videos via BITS. Unfortunately, the moment the connection dies, the entire download has to start over.

Is there any chance that Channel 9 could fully support BITS? MSDN has a helpful article on the topic.

@intelman:

I care about sound quality so I use a seperate portable audio player with a pair of either Sennheiser or Koss headphones.

I clicked the sign-in link on this page (https://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Feedback/jQuery-Message-Box).

I tried to repro the problem but after I tried to sign in, I got redirected to https://channel9.msdn.com:80/Forums/Feedback/jQuery-Message-Box/0c1fd4d8b43b4e5a8f939e30015e2906?wa=wsignin1.0.

Whenever I got to a page with a video, I get the following message box: --------------------------- Message from webpage --------------------------- Load jQuery first! --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Sample URL: http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/TheOfficeBlog/Office-Casual-The-basics-of-Visio

For the longest time, I used Ctrl+Insert/Shift+Insert exclusiely because I was so used to that in QuickBasic 4.5. It probably took me about ten years to gradually switch to Ctrl+C Ctrl+V exclusively.

Wow, that takes me back. I started on QB on a Win98 computer. I was already used to CTRL+C/X/V and every time I used QB I had to remember to use the mouse instead of CTRL+C/X/V.

On a more positive note, I first learned about F5 and F9 there.

Looks great! I'd appreciate it if you could have the little box show up when I hover over the name of the video too since I'm used to doing that to view links' title attribute.
