In my case firefox has a player installed for wmv files and starts to
play this stream in the browser.  All I see is the tail end of a bbc
weather forcast.  Just the bbc weather logo and about 5 seconds of
sound.  Then nothing.

wget doesn't get much.

Can anyone up the ante with a better URL or an alternate method to
view/download Click?  (ubuntu 7.04 FF)

BBC News 24, a live stream works as does the audio channels/stories. 
None of the other video channels/stories work.

selective DRM?  sun spots?
