Thanks Bob, it downloaded fine. I've had the same problem before, but usually the file downloaded on the 2nd attempt. Don't know if it was Gordon's downstream contention or the phase of the moon that was causing the problem, but solved for now. Thanks again.
And Gordon, glad you got the file downloaded as well.
The actual reason is well known. In fact, I did my doctoral dissertation on it:
The Innate Perversity of Inanimate Objects as Exemplified by the Ubiquitous Intransigence of Internet Download Servers

Thanks Doctor Bob!! --------------- Rick
Thanks, Bob,
You are a great source of support and information. Luckily, my last attempt downloading using Rick's link completed successfully. To help it along, I stopped all other internet activity even pausing seeding torrents, closed all other browser windows and local files. I may be cuckoo or superstitious but perhaps any "significant" delay contacting the server (caused by downstream contention) breaks the connection. This has happened several times in the past although I believe I didn't have any problems with downloads until perhaps the last 4 or 5 (uniques) file downloads.
Many thanks, Rick! Jonathan Keeble, playing Ben with an Irish accent, is one of my favourite audio book narrators. :-)
Duration is 41 minutes 58 seconds.
Are you sure of that timing?
I don't have Rick's file, but my copy is just over 57 minutes.

You are probably correct, Bob. My download didn't finish correctly but I didn't realize this until I listened to the recording. I now have tried to download it 4 times but it terminates prematurely at various points. I still haven't been able to completely download the entire file. I guess I'll try again another time. :/
Gordon, I checked my download and it too had stopped early. I've tried several more times with the same results -- incomplete download. I'll try again later as well.
