Hi Zeev,

First of all:

If you paid money to get rtmpdump you have most likely been scammed.
This software is free, both in the sense of being offerered with open
source code under a permissive license, and in the sense of being
offered at no charge.
I hope you meant that metaphorically.

You can get a partial fix to the problem by adding -R (--realtime) to
the command. (--live / -v likely works as well. I haven't tried that in
this case.)
This will prevent the download from starting over, but at least from my
machine and connection the downloaded video suffers from freezes to the
video stream (the sound seems fine).
The issue here seems identical to the problem I have with another set of
videos, detailed here:
http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/355146-%5Brtmpdump%5D-Download-rolls-back-stores-the-same-part-several-times?p=2310612

If anyone here knows a way to /fully/ resolve the issue and get a
downloaded file with intact video, I would be most interested to learn
of it as well.

/Etiam
