Hi guys,
I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but I'm not finding it. I'm on vacation right now, on a windows machine only, and I can't seem to download the show audio files in Firefox or in IE.

Usually on my Linux boxes, I use bashpodder and that works great. If I need to down load the shows directly to the desktop, I copy the web address that comes up when you click on MP3 or OGG. Then I use wget. When I try to right click on those links, and chose "Save Target As" all I get is a html or php file. Any ideas? Normally for other shows I can do a direct download of the files with "Save Target As", but with the special mirror network for tllts, this must not work in the browsers.

Thanks for the help.

These are the direct links:
http://www.tllts.org/audio/tllts_252-07-02-08.ogg
http://www.tllts.org/audio/tllts_252-07-02-08.mp3

Just change the show and date information for the episode you want.

Thanks Pat,
I had to create a quick HTML document with a <a href=> tag, open it in Firefox then choose "Save Target As" and now I'm in business, and downloading right now. Thanks for letting me get my TLLTS fix on vacation.

I usually just keep doing it over and over. After about the 5th time, you get the actual file rather than the HTML page.

I don't know why.

That's odd. I never have any problems unless the file is missing from one of the mirrors. In fact, here I am grabbing the last show:

That's because you're using my mirror, which is the best.

Actually I should have been more clear. This only happens when I try to download the show in IE by going in from the TLLTS front page and right-click the MP3 link and do "Save target as." It only happens sometimes.

I always used this link to download shows directly.
