I think one of the best chances to be able to download everything from one location is the Usenet:  http://usenet.blogbugs.org/

You can't get all the coverage because it's owned by the various companies that run the cameras and do the broadcasting.

The best chunk of coverage you can get is to rip the streams in whatever country you're in. If you're in China like your name says, CCTV5 is showing constant olympic streams and CCTV1 is showing several hours a day. They have their own media players but if you use linux you can probably rip them. They are in essenced just .wmv streams.

In Canada the streams are straight up .wmv. Just find a stream-ripping utility. That will allow you to rip any .wmv stream on the Canadian site.

Why am I mentioning all these different countries, well it's because of geoblocking. You most likely won't be able to access any stream outside your own country. The corporations are that good at regulating web space. I've tried the geo-spoofing sites to try to get Canadian feeds and it didn't work.

I'm in the US, of course if you're in the US you probably know the streams are all owned by NBC and can be viewed exclusively by Microsoft's Silverlight player. (There is not even the slightest shadow of a doubt that "MSNBC" is doing this deliberately to make people install Silverlight) And unfortunately there is no option to rip Silverlight streams as they are...

unless they happen to be, after all, just .wmv streams which as a matter of fact, well, go to the following link:

and download the little script that's offered there.

You will need python (I imagine they have it for windows too) and a .wmv ripper.

Make sure to read through the whole thing cause it takes some work. But it should work in any operating system as long as you have Python and a streamripper.

You can, of course, just view the streams in your media player... I can't tell you where to get a streamripper or the mods may delete my answer
