 * I want to do this redirection:
 * ^/?stream/(.*)/(.*)\.[mp4|m4v|ogv|webm|acc|mp3|m4a|ogg]{3,4}$ [http://$1.bitshare.com/download.php?d=$2](http://$1.bitshare.com/download.php?d=$2)[
   R]
 * The first thing i’ve tried was to put that into my htaccess file. It didn’t work(
   i guess because i’m using a custom structure for posts permalink).
 * Then i’ve tried some examples from the codex, and installed a plugin (Rewrite
   analyzer) to verify that the rules were added properly. Here you can see the 
   rules i added:
 * [http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Pp-sRjkOOzc/TlurwnyKBpI/AAAAAAAAGhs/3mYteafid3I/rules.PNG](http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Pp-sRjkOOzc/TlurwnyKBpI/AAAAAAAAGhs/3mYteafid3I/rules.PNG)
 * But when i visit mysite.com/geostate/1 it redirects to the index page, and mysite.
   com/testt/1 show me a 404 error.
 * I really don’t know what is happening.
