iku

dajia hao. I'd like to download a youku video. To do this it seems I need to download iku:

http://c.youku.com/iku/

which youku directly links to. Does anyone know if this iku site/application is safe? Is it an adware risk?

the main benefit I see in downloading from youku, is that I should then be able to watch the video uninterrupted. As it is, youku only downloads a few seconds at a time and then pauses for many more seconds.
