Update: Completely uninstalled and reinstalled Flashgot with the development version. It worked for youtube but it doesn't work for myvideo.de, same 0 byte header.

As far as I can see, what you're observing is an efficient reuse of Firefox's cache: the download won't actually start (and therefore the file remains empty) until either the movie stream has been entirely fetched by its player (in this case the download happens instantaneously from the cache) or until you exit the page containing the player or otherwise abort the streaming.

Oh I get it. It has to load the whole thing before downloading. It worked for a 52-second test video. ...Well that's a little silly.

I'm hoping it can be paused and still download

Of course it can. Fetching happens independently from playing. And, far from being silly, it spares you a lot of bandwidth if you're actually watching the content you want to download, too.
