Use a download manager and add this url:

Paste this into your browser and then when Windows Media Player pops up let it load the whole video then go to File->Save As.

It should work. I didn't wait for the whole video to download though.

Or you just just save target using that url now. ;)

No need to add it from the media player.

Oh yeah it looks protected by some sort of Microsoft streaming server. To get around that i used to have a program called hoonet or something i dunno it takes the stream and tries to write it as a file. I dont have it anymore nor do i know where to get it but there are programs out there to circumvent this if you look hard enough. I don't recommend it though because you don't know which are legit and which are viruses. also i dont think its legal to circumvent this protection.
