Hi - I’ve been trying to download the Rothbard lectures recently posted, but when I right-click on the relevant link the file doesn’t download. Is it me, or is there a problem with the site? 
I can second that. Although usually I can [finally] manage to download a file.
Ever since changes were made in the media section, downloading media has been very cumbersome and frustrating.
There is no way to download directly from the initial list (like just a few months ago).
when you click on the file, the next page starts the audio automatically. sometimes it is played by the visible player and sometimes it starts to play twice with a few seconds apart between what is visible (and you can pause it) and what is not (you can’t stop it unless you exit the entire application).
And yes, sometimes you can’t download it.
It’s a nightmare!
I too have occasional problems with slow load-times; I’ve found it’s best to navigate directly to the mp3 folder and right-click save the file you’re interested in.

- Get firefox
- Get downloadhelper.net
- Download
Thank you all for your replies and suggestions, at least it’s not just me. Interestingly enough the downloads seem to work fine on another computer I have which runs windows 7. I use Chrome as my browser, but I’ll try the Firefox option and see how I get along. Thanks again.
