  1. I’ve been trying for the past 2 days to download the podcast of Helen Thayer’s lecture. It gets to about 3/4 of the way done and simply stops. I’ve tried from the website here as well as from iTunes. Is there something wrong? How can I download the full podcast?

  2. It’s been over a week and dozens of attempts to download this podcast via direct download as well as trying to get it via iTunes –I’m simply unable to get the full file. The most I’ve ever been able to download was 51MB (out of the 61MB file size). Now I’m trying to download it from work (faster connection than at home?) and the link won’t work at all now. :-(
