Hi Ron & list;
I was trying to save the file directly, I eventually determined that for 
reasons unknown the transfer rate for some of their podcasts was unbelieveably 
slow.  On other sites the rate is still what I have been seeing.  I suspect 
something simply was timing out.  Tried it again this evening and for reasons 
unknown the rate didn't slow down as the files downloaded.
