Ram:>mmsclient mms//...(url address)
Downloaded a 5.7mb windows media file in Ram:
Why the endless output in the shell window?
Does it end?
How long does it take to download a 5.7mb file? fast cable connection?
I closed the shell as it was vomiting yet the media file was there in full
Correction

It was not there in full until a time period passed..
Even though I closed the shell window the process kept going until the fi
TIA
The verbose output are the individual packets being transmitted. I waited when the stream of packets stopped and was greeted with congradulations..the length of the stream determines the time/

You can make dissapear the stardard output of any command redirecting it to the null device ("NIL:"):

mmsclient >NIL: mms://...(url address)

But perhaps, in this case, seeing the output is important, as it seems there's no other way to tell the process has finished.

You can usually tell when you are returned to the prompt.
