Solve : mp3 download file extension error using Windows Internet Explorer 8?

Answer»

When USING Windows Internet Explorer to brose to WPR.org and selecting a podcast to download, it allows me to select a folder to SAVE the .MP3 file to, appears to be downloading, then I get an error:

"Internet Explorer cannot download bme11041m.mp3 from mp3.wpr.org.  An internal error occurred in Microsoft Internet extensions."

Any help is appreciated.  2 weeks ago we didn’t get this error. Now we get the error. Previously, we could simply click download and it would load file into our iTunes folder.

Thanks

What happens if you try a different browser (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari)?Google Chrome downloads the file and starts playing it.  It doesn't save it in the iTunes folder or give us a choice of where to save it.  Thanks for the reply.In Chrome - can you right-click on the file and save it?Using Chrome, on the download web page;
>>if I left click, it downloads the mp3 file, shown by a small icon on the lower left. It doesn't LET me choose where it saves the file.  Once the download is done, if you click on the chrome icon in the lower left, iTunes program will pop up and begin to play the show.  But the show is not listed or saved in the iTunes library.

>>if I right click, it downloads the html web page, shown by a small icon on the lower left.  This does not save the mp3 file.  Also it does not let me CHOSE where it is saving the file.
