Not really Kerry, because it is streamed audio, the file doesn't download as
a file persae but as an audio stream. You could take the next logical step,
to download the file to the enduser's browser cache using preloadNetThing
and then seeing if it will play it from the cached file vs returning to the
original site. I haven't tried that although I've considered attempting it
several times. Okay back to work... actually maybe I'll go get some sleep.
Sincerely
Mark
