The site www.magicvideodepot.com provides small videos, card tricks and such things. Since they updated the page all downloadmanagers i tried were not able to download files from there (fdm, getright, flashget,...). Is it just my system or can you download from there? IE6 standard download works.

the site probably have anti download manager measures. all you have to do is change your http protocol identity at 'options' > 'default download settings' > 'protocol' tab > 'identify on server as' = Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0

Done this already without success. Only a php script will be send.
No doubt it is an anti leech system but a good downloadmanager should have the same compatibility as the browser.

Opera works as well.
