Q: I am using a dial-up connection and the streaming service keeps "pausing" why ?
A: The "pause" you are experiencing is the stream re-buffering it self.
To fix this go to "Your Account" -> "Edit Profile" and change your streaming
player to "Small (Dial-Up)". This change will allow more of the lecture
to buffer and play for longer periods of time between re-buffers. If you
are still experiencing frequent or long "pauses" your bandwidth may be to low to
allow a continuous stream, to increase your bandwidth try closing other
internet applications such as e-mail, chat applications, and games.

Q: I am getting an "Error [0]: Access Error" when trying to listen to the streaming audio.

Q: When I attempt to download I am not prompted with an option to save, it opens in the browser and starts playing, how can I save the file to my computer?
A: Your browser and default media player are set to play .mp3 file types
directly in your browser though a browser plug in or 'media bar'. For Internet
Explorer please go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/mediabar.mspx#E3H
to turn off your media bar, this will allow thegreatlecturelibrary.com to
prompt you to save the file. If you have another plug in playing the .mp3
file please refer to the plug ins website for information on how to turn
this feature off.
