Not a source issue.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who downloaded it 
perfectly fine. The error message comes from ffmpeg, which means either 
that rtmpdump thinks the file downloaded OK when it didn't, or else 
there were some rtmpdump errors you didn't tell us about.  You probably 
got a duff download that you didn't delete, so you're feeding the same 
bad file repeatedly to ffmpeg.  Delete the .flv file and start over.

That won't remove a partial download.  You have to delete the .flv file 
from disk.

That's a rather old version, which probably also means you have a rather 
old version of ffmpeg.  The handling of non-monotonic timestamps has 
changed in later versions of ffmpeg so that it doesn't automatically die 
in every case.
