maybe you can use Trevors Wonderfull Enhanced QuickTime External, which will let YOU manage all this stuf?

From the docs:
######################
function qtGetMaxLoadedTimeInMovie (MovieControllerID)

Description:
Returns the download state of the movie controller.
Parameters:
MovieControllerID: movieControllerID.
Return:
Total movie downloaded in movie's time base.
########################
function qtGetMovieLoadState (MovieControllerID)

Description:
Returns the download state of the movie controller. 
This function lets your code perform relative comparisons against movie loading milestones to determine 
if certain operations make sense. Don't call more often then every quarter of a second. Its return values are 
ordered so that they conform to this rule: 
kMovieLoadStateError 
< kMovieLoadStateLoading 
< kMovieLoadStatePlayable 
< kMovieLoadStateComplete 
Parameters:
MovieControllerID: movieControllerID.
Return:
Integer value: 
-1 (kMovieLoadStateError)
1000 (kMovieLoadStateLoading)
10000 (kMovieLoadStatePlayable)
20000 (kMovieLoadStatePlayThroughOK)
100000 (kMovieLoadStateComplete)
#################################
function qtIsMovieDownloadingProgressively (MovieControllerID)

Description:
Returns true if the movie in the controller is being progressively downloaded.
Parameters:
MovieControllerID: Target movieControllerID.
Return:
Boolean
