Can't add a direct link

A question on behalf of a friend:

He tried adding a direct link for one of his videos, however:

ERROR: Link is not valid: 404 - Not Found

Common Problems:
* Protocal required: http://, https://, ftp://
* No closing / at the end of a directory:
http://www.site.com/video/directory should be http://www.site.com/video/directory/
* You just typed the name in wrong.

However, it is a working link that seems to work fine otherwise - see for yourself:

http://piyavka.spymac.net/Leech-Shinta's_Story.avi

***

Any possible explanation as to why?

Errm, disregard.

Problem found in filename and corrected.

Suggestion for others:

do not use the ' symbol for filenames if you want to direct-link.

haha nope ain't smart - you know if you put that in the database it goes something like 'blabla'some_more_bla.avi' - won't know where he's supposed to end.
