Why doesn't South Park Studio's videos stream?

I am capped but South Park Studio's website is hosted locally. I can browse the website, but I can't stream videos. I have the latest Flash player etc. A few days ago when I still had cap I streamed a whole video and it worked perfect.

Do you guys think the videos are maybe archived on an international server? FlagFox and Locality shows that the page on which the video is embedded is hosted locally, so what does this mean?

If anyone else is capped (which most people probably are by this time) can you please check out if you can stream this video: http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/220683

It just says "loading" and if you press play it says "connecting":confused:

Thanx:)

EDIT: I can download wallpapers from their website, but not preview them on the website itself. Since I've been using Firefox I haven't really tried to download flv (flash) videos, so how do I? Maybe if I download a video it will work...

The site is obviously hosted on the Akamai network (they have mirror servers all over the place, including SA), but the video probably has to stream from a server overseas.

Oh well, that probably explains it then. This really sucks.

Thanx for the reply:)
 
There are many International sites like this, MTV, Justintv and such are all on Akamai, but the actual video is hosted elsewhere.
Kinda sucks really.
