Used CoCSoft Stream Down for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

Like the proverbial hedgehog, CoCSoft Stream Down knows one thing well: in this case, how to capture streaming-media files and save them to disk. Just enter the URL of a streaming-media file and the program stores the content in the directory of your choice. In addition to FTP and HTTP, CoCSoft Stream Down can handle several streaming protocols: RTSP, MMS, MMSU, and MMST. However, downloading is all it does--it cannot play or edit files--and the mostly clean interface has some irritating shortcomings. The Down and Stop buttons on the toolbar seem permanently grayed out. Also, the awkward Download Chart uses thousands of colored balls rather than a standard thermometer to display the progress of a download. The software doesn't accelerate the downloading process, either. However, if none of that is a concern to you, CoCSoft Stream Down is a solid though unspectacular choice for archiving streaming media.

Disappointing.

Pros
I did not find any despite general acclaim.
Cons
It simply could not record the stream I wanted - GetASFStream worked.
Summary
WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP
MartinGTAugust 25, 2007
Pros
No pros... <p> <p>Sorry
Cons
This program is not worth it downloading, does not download videos or audio properly, <p> <p>Downloads whole HTML documents but the not the streaming media contained on those webpages...
Summary
Bit pricey but does what it says

Pros
Put in your stream, and it gets it onto your computer.
Cons
Some geeky things <p> <p>1. Doesn't handle some BBC streams correctly some half hour shows require a download of 1 hour <p> <p>2. It doesn't speed the downloads up <p> <p>3. Over Priced. SUPER does the same job and its free (not as reliable though) <p> <p>4. The website has version 5.9
Summary
performed better than expected

Pros
I downloaded almost 500mb of STREAMING windows media files in 3 hours. The movies where 1 hour seminar recording and I can't watch on laptop on a plane or traveling. I'm very impressed and apreciate the simple non-flowery interface. I would purchase this product, if i used it on a daily bases and it didn't cost 40 bucks
Cons
a little too much $
Summary
Perfect

Pros
Only thing I wanted is to download some things from TV, copied the stream link and CoCo started to download! You cant edit, but you can do that with Windows Moviemaker, so no problem at all
Cons
Summary
HiDownload is much better
CableguyTKJanuary 21, 2006
Pros
It "supposedly" downloads streaming media.
Cons
Its not free. <p>Most streaming media I fed to it would not download. However, HiDownload had no problems with the download. <p>The interface is fair at best. <p>The logo for this program is junk. Get a new logo!
Summary
Works
JumpingratJanuary 2, 2006
Pros
Worked right away. Easy interface.
Cons
Yah $40 is a bit much for something so narrowly focused.
Summary
Doesn't work for me
bproffitOctober 26, 2005
Pros
Nothing positive--it didn't work!
Cons
It consistently closed itself when I tried to add a stream to download. I was never able to do so successfully.
Summary
Needs some improvements
AnonymousmetfanJuly 26, 2005
Pros
Fast
Cons
Crashed a couple of times. Didn't finish downloading a couple of my vids and it didn't let me download them again. Expensive.
Summary
Excellent product!
keglinedJuly 6, 2005
Pros
Works as advertised. Log shows the user all the stepos accomplished in downloading the file (handshake etc.). Straightforward format, very user-friendly. Easy for someone like me (I'm quite computer-illiterate).
Cons
A little pricey. If I were the owner I'd think about lowering the price - he or she'd probably bring in more customers, ultimately increasing profits. After all, 40 bucks is in the hardcore videophile range, whereas $20 or $25 is more what the average shmoe would be willing to pay. . . wouldn't you think?
