Anybody get problems with this? Some "listening post" entries use megauploaod to show their videos. Apart from the fact it's not terribly intuitive having to wait 45 secs before you can choose a download Firefox puts a pop-up box over the download notice anyway! Then my PC crashes.

Happens every time, anybody else?

Oh, I'm on 2 meg cable broadband with a PIII 1.3 Ghz processor using Firefox 1.5

Cheers

I just ignore anything in the listening post that isn't a direct link.
Anything involving multiple links, registering or using weird flash buttons isn't worth the hassle.

Mega upload sucks but it was the only place I could upload my vids. My firewall doesn't crash my computer or any thing there is no registration the wait is stupid though.

Agreed, I even raised a thread asking why people don't post direct links, especially after the forum instructions !

Well, I guess it's their loss in the end.
