The popup says to download with 'mimms -c http://...', but I don't think the latest versions of mimms support http. I'm using mimms 3.2.2 on ubuntu 12.10, and when I use the command I get the error message:

mimms: error: only mms urls (i.e. mms://, mmst://, mmsh://) are supported

Replacing http with either of those three doesn't work either.

I tried the bookmarklet and it worked for me after replacing 'http' with 'mms'
@djoeman84 - Thanks for providing the bookmarklet!

@adotey - One thing that I could think of that could raise an error is if you did not have mimms installed on your system. Since you got the above mimms error message, looks like you do have mimms installed. Not sure why it won't work after you substituted http with mms. Sorry, not of much help.
