Click the map in motion which takes you to a page with a looper applet on it and it downloades 6 immages to display. In Internet Explorer 6 this takes about 3 minutes at 32 Kb/s. I let it run for about an hour and 30 minutes and mozilla was still downloading. 21+ meg total. The url for the radar map may change at the sites convienence so to get there from their index.html go to www.weatherchannel.com; enter your zip code and go to the local weather page; A localized static radar map should be displayed; click on the 'see map in motion' link and it will bring up a page that displays an applet and says something like loading... please wait. I did but It didn't. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.The url for the radar map may change at the sites convienence so to get there from their index.html go to www.weatherchannel.com; 2.enter your zip code and go to the local weather page; A localized static radar map should be displayed; 3.click on the 'see map in motion' link and it will bring up a page that displays an applet and says something like loading... please wait. I did but It didn't. Actual Results: The site just keeps downloading. 21 meg 1:36 hours This map thing did worke in earlier versions. Expected Results: Download 6 graphics and display them in sequence or one at a time if you ckick the buttons. (This is nice if you want to predict what time it will start raining.) This feature of the weather channel may not be available in areas of the world where radar maps are not transmitted to the US for disemination by the U.S. NOAA (weather bureau)

URL loads and plays fine on current CVS trunk, Linux. (in a matter of seconds on a 1024 Kbps ADSL connection) It likely leaks some per cycle however - my free RAM slowly decreased.
