Where Are The MP3s?

This week's question comes from someone on the complete other side of the world; the Philippines. Now why aren't more questions coming from this side of the world? :-)

Q. How do I download old speeches from the http://ccf.org.ph web site?

A. Many websites operate according to the most simple of standards. Although there are some websites that use other methods, you should be able to use the following method for this web site.

- Right-click on the "Download MP3" link and then select "copy link location" or "copy shortcut" or something like that (depending on your browser), and then you can paste what you get from there. In this case you will get "http://hostingph.ccf.org.ph/~ccforgph/media/audio/mp3/051406.zip" and from there you can see that you can find the other older messages at "http://hostingph.ccf.org.ph/~ccforgph/media/audio/mp3". It's exactly the same path, you simply take off the name of the file which is 051406.zip in order to find path to the other files.

- Paste that into your browser and press enter. You will see all of the files listed on this page. From here you can right-click, hit "save-as", select the location you want to download the file to, and click "ok". ... It's like magic :-)
