I get the one or two second bursts as it is downloading the file to the Windows media player latest version in Media Center PC. Once the file is downloaded then it goes back to the beginning and plays it through with out the short bursts. So I just put it on pause until I can see it is downloaded and then play it without any of the short burst problems. These are big 15 MG files and do take awhile to dl.
Again Fran and Nigel thanks for sharing. I am getting some real positive feedback from my email list members,
