Seems like there's some sort of linkage problem that has cropped up between last weeks show and the latest. When I click on the download links, FireFox acts as if it's about to do it's thing (loading bar goes), then absolutely nothing happens. If I try to do "save link as", the box comes up, I save it and it saves a 0KB file.

I experimented and I found if I changed the link from:

http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect....theparacast.com/podcasts/paracast_091025.mp3

to:

https://www.theparacast.com/podcasts/paracast_091025.mp3

Then it works just as it did previously, no problems. I also tested this in IE and at my gf's house on a different ISP, same issue.

Just FYI
 
I never did get it to work in Firefox, so I always go to Innernets Asploder and do a "Save Target As" and it works every time. I've been having more issues with Firefox lately. Don't know enough about this newfangled virtual hardware stuff to figure it out. Next computer will have Winders 7 I spoze, and I'll have to learn a whole bunch of new stuff that doesn't make any more sense to me than the old stuff. Yes, I have a Mac. For what I do, it's not better, just different. Please don't nobody start evangelizing. More power to ya, and all that.
