At a massive size of 158 Mb, I can understand how folk mightn't want to
download it, though.

Internet speed is not only based on the speed of you connection, but the
connection speed and bandwidth of the server you are getting the
information
from.  The files from this site is also an MP3 file it would be better
to
download it on to your computer before playing it.  If you play it while
it
is downloading it may be jumpy because it is not designed for streaming.

Hi all,
Well, here's another problem I'm having.
I go to


http://www.blindcooltech.com


I click on the link that says mac
Now, here's what happens, the download dialogue box comes up.
Now, I click open, and the darn thing took a half hour to open.
I use AT&T professional DSL service.
What's going on here?
I didn't pay for this kind of slow speed crap!
Why is this crap happening?
Should I go back to dialup?
Funny though, I go to


http://www.paulharvey.com


and I clicked Monday morning, and it comes up and plays quickly and no
audio
drops.
So, it's working there.
This is just rediculous, I'm paying $22 a month for this ****?
Harry
