So I'm going through and just now downloading these episodes of No Quarter that you are on, Flack. For some reason, this one has been removed, and was just wondering why? Any chance of getting it anywhere?

I don't know why it would have been removed (probably an accident) but I'm sure I have it in my personal collection.

EDIT: I'm uploading it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ddog1xlv7km8i23/3PEIDh9_ee

Pretty sure I know why, last night after I posted this, I went back and looked it up on the No Quarter Facebook page (took me a while on this ancient computer). It mentioned that it had a licensed Beatles song in it, so I'm sure that must be it.

For the life of me, I'm trying to download it from the link you gave me, and I can't. It may very well be due to my ancient computer, I don't know. I've tried Firefox and Safari; all I can download is some 163KB remnant or whatever.

To clarify, if I right click save as, it looks like it's going to save the mp3 file, but I get a 163KB file of something. If I left click it, it goes to a blank page with no mp3 player (or mpeg object player or whatever it's called). I've tried three different browsers, but of course they are all ancient. Still, I don't think that should matter.

I just re-uploaded it as a zip file. When you click on it, it'll say no preview is available, and then allow you to download it. I just downloaded it after uploading it and it worked.

It must be my ancient computer here at my mom's old house. Apparently dropbox is too modern for it. I couldn't download it, nor could I download something I myself had uploaded a while back (from my much newer computer at my apartment). Would you mind keeping it up a few more days? I should be going back to my apartment on Sunday. Also, I'll see if I can download it from my brother's computer.

Thanks again for going to all that trouble.

Rob, you are a prince. That did the trick. Thanks so much again, I greatly appreciate it.

Every day, this ancient computer becomes just a little bit more useless, thanks to the ever-evolving internet.

Looking forward to listening to all of your No Quarter podcasts!

I just realized that I used up more than my quota of the word "ancient." I need one of them thesaurus thingys.
