Anyone have any idea why I can download any audio broadcast available online except for those offered at VOR?
Any program I try to open will play for :40 to 1:10 or so and then start eternal buffering.
I've tried a couple of their solutions like using Firefox's "Down them all" or subscribing to the podcast via ITunes but none of these work.
Probably going to take my PC to a tech shop today but any help appreciated.

Are you hitting the download buttonhttp://vornetwork.com/thumbs/download_footer.png
or the play button?

Both. All.
I've tried every link, right-click and browser solution I can think of and nothing works. Doesn't work with my "newer" laptop, either.
Tried it at my Dad's house with his new laptop and they load instantly.

Sounds like your computer is not very antisemitic.
