Those appear to be network problems. In the first the provided server name failed to resolve to a real IP address. Could be a bad or misstyped URL. The second one could not connect to the specified port on the server although it did resolve to a real IP. Again could be a bad or misstyped URL. That or the links are just plain old and dead. It happens.

Assuming that the gaps etc are not in the original the only thing I can think of is that the program is trying to record in real time like a player might try to play the file discarding bad or missing chunks. That or the server uses only UDP datagrams and does not support seeking or resuming.

That happens when either a codec or format in volved is not installed or supported. I don't think current real media formats and codecs are well supported. For reasons of IP or trade secrets. The same goes for some microsoft formats. Which is why open standards are good. :P
