Downloading from iTunes


I want to watch some videos at iTunes U from MIT, but my browser says, "itms is not a registered protocol". Is there some way I can still access the videos, say with wget?

PS:
When the movie "Independence Day" came out, some wags remarked how ironic it was that Jeff Goldblum was able to tap his Apple Mac into the computer on the alien mothership ... since no known terrestrial PC could ever interface to a Mac.

Some things just never change, do they

TunesViewer

Try TunesViewer. I get a dependency error in CrunchBang 8.10 (based on Ubuntu 8.10), but I'll try again after upgrading to CrunchBang 10 (based on Debian).

It just confirms that it's for Windows or Mac - nothing about a Linux solution.

I managed to get past the error in Firefox ("Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (itms) isn't associated with any program.") by using the Firefox add-on User Agent Switcher and choosing iTunes 7 or 9 - so it opened the page, but only as raw XML with an error message at the top. TunesViewer looks promising though.
