Subject: Problems detecting links within asf files

I'm taking a course which offers streaming content.  I've 
got a terrible modem connection, so I can't view it from 
home.  HTTrack doesn't seem to capture streaming asf files, 
so I downloaded a tool asfrecorder.zip (comes with source, 
maybe you can include it in HTTrack someday).

AsfRecorder grabs the streaming media and creates a giant 
24MB asf file on my hard disk.  The file plays great, but 
it has links embedded which popup in another explorer 
window (slides that accompany the video).  These links 
refer back to the original website using an absolute path.

I'm trying to use HTTrack to scan my asf file, download the 
links, and adjust the asf file to point to the downloaded 
links on my local machine.  I see two issues.  1) scanning 
the asf file and finding the links.  2) updating the asf 
file to point to the downloaded slides on my local machine.

First, will HTTrack do this (#1, #2, or both)?
Second, when I try to add the local file to my project, 
D:\myasf.asf, I get an error log entry:

Error: 	"Unable to get server's address" (-5) after 2 
retries at link <file://D:/myasf.asf> (from primary/primary)

Do you have any suggestions?  I have RC5.  Thanks in 
advance.
-Bill
