I'm attempting to redownload a bunch of videos that I, for some reason, deleted off my hard drive a while ago. The first one worked fine, but since then, once it gets to the actual download page, past the "you've downloaded this already" page and the "please pledge" pages, instead of opening that little window that asks you to open or save file, etc etc, it loads a new page in which the video is embedded. It's a completely blank page with just the video right in the middle.
I've tried "save as" on my browser, but it only saves the first ten seconds, even when the whole video has loaded. I've tried "view source" on my browser as well, but nothing happens; no source window opens. I've tried "play URL" in a couple video players, but they won't play, or they will play but I can't save the file.
It could apply to direct downloads, as well; I'm not sure as I've only tried a couple local downloads and they've all had the same effect.

Opera browser and <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 9117">this video</a>. There were a couple others, but I've forgotten which ones already.
In retrospect, allowing the video to load completely and then using my browser's "save as" function actually does save the entire file, not just the first ten seconds, but for some reason it's loading very slowly, which is odd because in my previous experience videos load faster than they play; I'm not used to actually having to pause and then come back to the window five minutes later to see if it's loaded. Of course, that's more likely my computer/connection than the file itself, right?
Also, I've tried a couple of videos since then and they've all downloaded fine, but I tried the one linked above once more just now and it does the exact same thing.
