Server change: Improved downloads, streams and other tidbits

Over that last two days a number of small changes were made to improve the download and streaming of files.

• When clicking on the MP3 or WAV icons your browser should now display a download dialog instead of trying to auto-play the file. If your browser auto-downloads or auto-plays the MP3/WAV files please check your preferences. Firefox, IE and Safari all have settings that control this. For example FF defaults to saving to the desktop, a setting I change immediately!
• A fix was also added to improve streaming for Safari. Previously Safari (Windows and Mac) had some problems streaming files to the Flash player.
• We discovered that some sounds could not always be downloaded or streamed reliably. I think those have been fixed. It was a small percentage (2-3 %) and it did not always occur, but it you had problems downloading or streaming in the past please try again. If you still have a problem post a message. If you can include the URL that would be very helpful.
• Given the capabilities of the new server we have adjusted the settings to provide even better performance especially during peak times.
