Some links which include the backflip manoeuvre were posted a few links ago.
The post is:

The first link is the backflip manoeuvre. There is a download button near
the bottom of the page. It is a tad over 30Mb I believe.

Sorry, disregard that. (I should've tested it before posting.) That link
is doing the streaming thing.

I use mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/) for such things, in this
case something like:

mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile pitch.asf 'http://wm.nasa-global.speedera.net/wm.nasa-global/RTF/backflip.wmv?MSWMExt=.asf'

(the link is found inside the .wmv file linked from the site you
mentioned; the wmv file is a text file in this case)

I've never tested this under Windows though (I use Linux), but it
should work.

I've uploaded the file he

Btw, the shuttle flew over Europe when this maneuver took place, and
some guys in Germany filmed Discovery and the ISS from the ground as
they passed in front of the Sun's disc:
