Hello,

I'm a big fan of ANN and ANNCast and have been recently listening to back catalogue episodes.

I noticed a few weeks ago that I am now unable to download any of the mp3 files from the direct download links in the episode details pages located in the ANNCast Archive. I had run into this problem here and there in the past but found that from simple actions like restarting the browser/checking permissions/etc., I was able to quickly resolve it.

However, over the last few weeks I am unable to download any episodes from the links (most recently my browser's downloads window says failure - no file attached or the file immediately downloads to my computer without actually downloading any info., resulting in a zerokb file with the correct name but unable to be opened).

I am just reaching out to see if this has been brought to your attention or if you can suggest an alternative way that I may download and listen.

Hope all is well on the ANN end and I look forward to the next episode of your show!

Cheers,
Joseph

P.S. The new layout looks great! Really happy to see the thumbnails along with the articles Smile

That link works downloaded fine for me

I also just tried to dowload the episode ANNCast Classic: The Life and Kime of Geneon, USA (a few below the most recent episode) and I have the same results as I mentioned before. The link to that one is below:

animenewsnetwork.com/audiovideo/anncast/anncast017.mp3

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Joseph

I was going to marathon the "Revenge of the..." episodes, and while the 2000s eps are still on iTunes, the 80s & 90s episodes ( animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2012-03-29 animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2012-04-06 animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2012-06-15 animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2012-06-19 ) aren't anymore and their direct downloads aren't working for me. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Link to the Geneon ANNCast:
animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2009-12-03
animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2013-10-17

I've tried modifying the MP3 link to match the location used in newer episodes, and that didn't work either:
animenewsnetwork.com/images/cms/anncast/31804/anncast017.mp3

Older ANNCast episodes are on an external server which appears to have gone offline. Our hosting guy will look into it when he's back in town.
