Ok, everyone knows I TR from work. Therefore I am unable to view video or listen to audio. Today however, I realized there was an option to download the podcasts [i]slap one[/i] as mp3 files. I thought - Great! - now I can listen in the car on the way home. (after I buy a cheapo mp3 player from Walgreens :) and the cord to plug into the car.)

After about the 4th one, I realized that the mp3s were not REALLY downloading (didn't occur to me that these things should take a small amount of time to download) [i]slap two[/i].

NOTE: I am NOW drinking a can of Vault in an attempt to awaken my brain!

So then I checked into pluggd.tv and tried to search for the podcasts, with no luck. [i]slap three - because I know I'm completely missing something obvious[/i]

Sooo...someone please enlighten my sleepy brain and lead me the right way to get the podcast mp3s! (specifically the Member Spotlights)

Thank you!

[edited for typo in the title - definitely NOT awake!]

I right click on the "Listen to podcast" link and tell it to "save target as" (in IE)

If it helps I can actually email you any you want.

I actually figured that out after I posted. Doh! (I think the can of Vault kicked in.) But by that time the forums were down for maintenance - and they weren't back on before I had to leave work.

Thanks for the reply though!

My particular problem was Opera. Wouldn't let me download a damn thing properly.

jd pointed me in the correct direction of FF (oh, v2 though!) and that will download perfectly. Having quite a few podcasts saved as mp3's they come in great if I'm stuck somewhere with time to wile away.

I suggest you don't listen to them whilst driving - I actually downloaded a bunch to listen to on the train a while ago. I'm sure a lot of people thought I'd lost the plot - I had a multitude of gigglefits listening to Beth and Sonja!

Hmm. That reminds me - must have a little test to see if I can get the TROLOV's on my new little Onda MP4 player - I'm very fonda me Onda!

:p

and not a brain malfunction!

As I told Tammy, I figured out I could get the mp3 off the "listen to the podcast" link [b]AFTER[/b] I posted. (previously I was trying to get it off the "Get It" button on the player)

But then I couldn't post that I found it - because the forums server was down for maintenance! :(

he is setting up the Planetary Invasion, and needs the TR servers to be Linux so keep us techies busy during the invasion

Which version of Opera were you having issues with GG? I have never had an issue with downloading, and I am on 9.52 now. :D

A secure place that locks items inside

A can of Vault can be considered a the entire vault without its contents :^0

Ok, Coke's attempt at Mt. Dew, trying to move Mt. Dew drinkers over to Coke products. Actually, its not bad, however I still prefer Mt. Dew and Code Red.

Never tried it. What's it taste like?

Mt. Dew - 54 mg caffeine
Vault - 69 mg caffeine

:D

I only got the Vault because it's in the machine here at work and I didn't have any coffee made (95 mg caffeine)

Personally as far as energy drinks go - I avoid em. But I do like Coke's brands - Full Throttle and Vault both taste good.

Mt. Dew is ok. Monster is monstrous! I don't know how anyone can drink those! They have this odor that you can taste. Ick!
