Download Issue
Hello, and thanks for your speedy response. I am now downloading that same file on expressing emotion without problems. I didn't change anything at all. Your brother may be right about the memory issue, as I am using a laptop with only about 256 megs of memory. I'm aware that this can cause problems, but I've never seen downloads abbreviated before because of it, and exactly after repeatedly downoading the same number of seconds of file length. But then, my experience is limited to managing family computers, perusing forums, and experimentation. I am using the latest firefox. I can only say that, when I switch to internet explorer, the page seems to be rendered more smoothly and without odd glitches which sometimes occur with my firefox. For instance, when I tried to post my previous message, and hit the button to review the post before sending it....this worked well, but it took quite a bit of clicking and "fiddling" before I actually got the option to edit anything. Then there was no option to send the message. The button didn't appear. In terms of firefox addons, I do use a few dictionaries, which help with spell-checking foreign language web forums, so that might be an issue here. I think that the memory thing makes the most sense, though. I understand all the issues your brother brought up.....They constitute the official checklist of every technician everywhere. I like firefox a lot for all it's addons, but I also think that "when in doubt," just switch to internet explorer." You can always go back. They even have an addon for that too.
Thanks again, Molly. You do good work.....And please be sure and thank your brother for me for his interest in my issue.....
Glad it's working now!
Hey Charles,
I'm glad it's working for whatever reason. I had some friends try it on their computers, and no one could reproduce this odd glitch. Just send me a message via "contact us," if you have run into any more trouble.
Saludos,
Molly
Site problems
Hello, it's been a while since I've complained (seems like 3 whole days) so I thought I'd let you know about another download problem.
It's a file that downloads to be a size of about 13 seconds, just enough for the introduction. I tested this with both Firefox and Internet explorer several times. It's a file on the subjunctive covering expressing opinion or emocion..... By the way, your page seems to absolutely hate Firefox......lots of weird pauses and such....
I love the recordings, though, so please keep them coming. I'm learning a lot....
More detail needed
Hi, I'm Molly's brother as well as the person that put the site together for her. I've been working as a software developer who specializes in web applications for over 10 years and used firefox as my main browser so should be of some help here.
First off, lets get some more information:
What kind of machine/operating system are you running and how much RAM does your system have?
For modern operating systems 512 is minimum any machine with less than a gig will definately experience hampered performance. RAM is cheap and easy to install this is always a first and best step to increase performance of any system.
What type of internet connection do you use? Cable, dsl, dial up?
Are you on a home, school or office network that has a number of users on it and can conflict with the available bandwidth?
Lastly, Which version of Firefox do you use and do you have any addons or extentions enabled?
Firefox 2 is absolutely horrid at handling memory and the poor performance as a result is VERY well documented. If you answer 2 and you dont have a lot of RAM I'd bet that's our problem. Firefox 3 is out now and is MUCH better with memory. I'd recommend everyone upgrade now if they are using 2.
I'll be interested to hear more.

Thanks for the feedback.
Hi, You must be Charles. I had just logged onto the site when you posted your question. First, with regards to firefox, that is the only browser I use, and I have not had the problems you describe. But if anyone else has, please let me know. And I'll ask some of my friends to test drive the site on their computers. Do you have the most update version of firefox? And what do you mean by pauses? I also just downloaded this audio file and the whole thing downloaded without a problem. I'm so sorry I am not able to reproduce you problems, but I will continue to look into it. Please keep sending your feedback, as it helps to improve the site. And if anyone out there is having the same problem, please let me know. I will send you an email with this audio file.
Saludos,
Molly
