You have to tell the server to send the correct mime-type:

HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date:	Wed, 13 Jul 2005 23:19:08 GMT	CRLF
Server:	Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)	CRLF
Location:	http://www.filecabi.net/topdownloads.php	CRLF
Content-Length:	309	CRLF
Connection:	close	CRLF
Content-Type:	text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

It makes a Trun Gecko just really slow (FF1.0.X is old) but that's expected with
Megabytes of binary Data to render.

reporter: if you actually crash (and really if you crash using a trunk build,
not some branch build based on code from april of 2004), then please indicate a
talkback incident id and someone will see about resolving your crash. if all you
do is hang for a while, that's perfectly reasonable and not something that
should be confused with crashing.

That video no longer seems to be in the filecabi.net site. Is there another WMV file on the site that is not served with the correct MIME type? If so, please give the URL.
