I thought I'd download a Friday Fresh Air program segment from NPR. 
Somehow I managed to do it. I'm not able to replicate it today*. In any 
case, it was the size of the mp3 file that got my attention, 20M, for 
what I believe was not nearly a full hour. I have another archive site 
for an AM radio station that I regularly download one hour programs. Up 
until a few days ago,  the mp3 files were generally very close to 10M, 
easy to send via e-mail, but when I downloaded one earlier this week, it 
was 20M. Is there something I'm missing that allows me to actually 
select a format, quality  maybe?  Possibly, archives are now set to 
larger than 10M files to prevent programs from being freely distributed 
by e-mail?

*A short while ago I went to the Fresh Air archive, and tried 
right-click on the audio to select Save Target Link. That often gets to 
an mp3 source. In this case, it got me to a php file. However, I really 
have no recollection how I got the file Friday. Maybe the web archive 
changes day to day?? Puzzled.
