Actually, the 14 min./episode is playing time. iTunes is hustling them down for me. Timed an individual download (i.e., nothing downloading simultaneously except Calibre News) at a pipe speed of 2.8Mbps down, and it took ~15 seconds.

Thanks to Harry and tubemonkey, great stuff!

The "100 Objects" series is a situation where it's a heck of a lot easier to download the lot from a torrent site.

Like TPB?

I actually use a site called "radioarchive.cc", which tracks only off-air radio recordings - no commercial stuff.

Thanks a lot. Looks interesting.

Absolutely...Rory receives pummeling from Amy and dies at least once during the play. I'm having trouble recalling the part of a resurrected love-stricken yet murderous Roman Centurion/Auton in "The Tempest." It would certainly make it more exciting...

[EDIT: See a couple of posts below for a link that does not require signup or login with 4shared. Thanks for the alert, ApK.]

A downloadable mp3 version of the Twelfth Night is here, recorded from the stream (with added gain and tags).

I believe you need to be sure to click on the correct Download button; then it makes you wait for the real Download button (I can't see exactly how it behaves, because it lets me bypass the wait because it's my own file).

Requires sign up with 4shared, by the way.

A different link to Twelfth Night, without the need for signup.

(4shared didn't used to have that policy, at least it didn't 6 months ago.)
