Hmm.. Should I use any special parameters on wget? It just starts
downloading but I don't get a screen.

Using wget http://skabb.net/~ravon/thps2_1.mpg | vlc /dev/stdin
gives me this when hitting play:

 650K -> .....input: playing at normal rate
..... .......... .......... .......... .......... [  3%]

Oh btw. I didn't write the first mail. I'm just curious too :)
