I can't hear TOEFL audio recordings #1 (permalink) Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:23 am   I can't hear TOEFL audio recordings
 

One month ago, I usually visited this website and listened to Toefl lectures and conversations and found them very useful.

Now I come back and find out that every time I click Play button, it just informs me that "No file found". I wonder whether this is due to some technical problem of my computer or there is anything wrong with the site. Could you please help me figure this out?

Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon because I have only 1 month left to prepare for the Toefl test.

I've clicked on some of those exercises at random and they seem to work without a problem. Can you provide a link to one which doesn't work for you, and I'll test it.

Are you using the same computer that you were using a month ago?

When I click Play button of any exercises, my Internet Download Manager automatically runs and asks me whether I want to download the audio file from this site. I click Cancel and that box disappears. Then I see the notification "File not found" right next to the volume icon of the audio recording.

I have checked several different exercises and got the same result.

I am using the same laptop that I used one month ago. To make sure, I even checked this on my desktop computer; and again, I got the same result.

I have just moved house. Is it likely that this problem has to do with my Internet connection or the service of the Internet provider or that kind of things?

From what you say, the problem seems to be with the 'Internet Download Manager' software, which is interrupting the playing of the file.

I would expect the file to play when you click the play button. I would not expect software to ask if I want to download it.

Thank God. I finally fixed it up. I just remove IDM and reinstall Firefox. Now everything is ok. Thank you very much, Beeesneees. I really appreciate your help!
