Hi I'm wondering how to download a 1 GB approx audio file of an interesting academic lecture I found recently on the Net, but no idea how to do it except overnight as my download speeds are then a bit quicker at about 5mbps. Is there any quicker way....?

Thanks in advance

An hour mono lecture should come in at about 58MB, not 1GB. So if I had to guess at it, I'd say you'd be getting a lot more than an interesting lecture. But yes, overnight or make good friends with someone with a higher speed connection. Whoever does it, make sure they have good backups and excellent virus and malware protection.

@Koz,
“Apols” is British English shorthand for “Apologies”. The OP can no longer download the audio file: the host site is “no longer active”…
