Hi!

I encountered a problem when trying to convert an online video (youtube, specifically).

If the file size was really small, it's OK. However, for larger files, the download progress bar stops proceeding at some early stage.

The issue is, youtube's video url (looking like this:
http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=V3BsjxDZJM0&am p;t=OEgsToPDskJgLFxPb7U6QHyCnCBIAzwe )

sends back an HTTP Redirect url (like this:
http://ash-v518.ash.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=V3BsjxDZJ M0&signature=198A0860B749635FE56164ABBDE44C0015DEE5AD.22 0F34343096E4D8EB1073DA7BCF7745AE2CBC4A&ip=192.168.0.1&am p;ipbits=16&expire=1206712042&key=yt1&sver=2)

My guess is that Media-Convert actually follows the Location: header, but doesn't remember it. Thus it keeps fetching the beginning portion of the file over and over, countlessly till I close the browser.

Could you pleaze fix this?
