mimms(1)
NAME
mimms - mms (e.g. mms://) stream downloader
SYNOPSIS
mimms [options] <url> [filename]
DESCRIPTION
mimms is a program designed to allow you to download streams using the
MMS protocol and save them to your computer, as opposed to watching
them live. Similar functionality is available in full media player
suites such as Xine, MPlayer, and VLC, but mimms is quick and easy to
use and, for the time being, remains a useful program.

URLS

http:// URLs and .asx files, but this version does not (yet?) support
that.
