I can't download the audio. I tried to right-click and select Save Target As... It seems to go ok, but at the end an error message comes: "Cannot copy (name of tape): Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name."

What should I do?

Does this happen with every audio file you try to download or only with a few?

I tried several files in different languages. It was the same with all of them.

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems.  Unfortunately, it sounds like there may be some problem at your computer.  The way the download process works is this: 

  • your browser downloads the file to a temporary location on your hard drive
  • upon completion of the download, it copies the file from that temporary location to the location that you specified for saving, which could be somewhere else on your hard drive, a floppy drive, flash drive, network drive, etc.

You stated that the download seems to go OK (i.e. the file is downloaded from the web site to the temporary location on your hard drive), but then you get the copy error message, indicating that there is some issue on the final copy operation.  

Some things to check out:

  • Can you successfully save files from other web sites?
  • Are you sure the location you are selecting for saving the file has sufficient disk space? 
  • Are you sure you have the user rights to create files at that location? 
  • Can you successfully save the file to a floppy disk or flash drive?
  • Which browser are you using?  This should not be a problem, but I use and test only with Internet Explorer.

Perhaps some other forum users will have other ideas to try.
