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.

OPTIONS

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       -c, --clobber
              automatically overwrite an existing file

       -r, --resume

       -b BANDWIDTH, --bandwidth=BANDWIDTH
              the desired bandwidth for stream selection in BANDWIDTH bytes/s

       -t TIME, --time=TIME
              stop downloading after TIME minutes

       -v, --verbose
              print verbose debug messages to stderr

       -q, --quiet
              don't print progress messages to stdout

URLS

       mimms  supports only URLs that are supported by libmms, e.g. mms://, mmsh://, mmst://.  Previous versions
       tried to do fancy things with http:// URLs and .asx files, but this version does not (yet?) support that.
