    No matter what I do, can't get either the dial-up or broadband version to work this week

    Yup, me neither. Previous weeks ones didn't stream, they downloaded then played - but this week's wont work at all!

  • I am not very good with computers, as I cant get this weeks mutterings to open either, all other weeks I have just clicked the Broadband link and it is all okay. Today it just open the itunes program for the ipod. If anybody can help I would appreciate it.

    Hi Folks

    At the moment we're not sure why this is happening, it is working fine in the office.

    For the time being, here are the non streamed links for you... hopefully they will work

    Dial Up and Broadband

    Hope these work, let us know.

    Also, it may help if you try right clicking on the links in the tip, selecting "save target as..." and then playing it in whatever audio package you have (e.g Windows Media Player, Realplayer, etc)

    Nope, doesn't work for me, never has. Doesn't even work when downloaded. I usually get a message saying that windows media player can't open the file, or isn't connected to the other computer, but with the link above it actually started to work. A few words in it just stopped and said it had reached the end of the file. The system's a bit pony if you ask me.

  • This is the THIRD week that the Mutterings have failed to work, streaming or downloading. Come on Martin, we don't expect these sorts of problems from moneysavingexpert.com

    Downloads fine [when save target as], but left-clicking the link to stream it, it stops almost straightaway. Either sort this out, or simply have the link automatically downlaod the mutterings and forget about streaming them...

    Hi folks. The problem is it works perfectly when we try it - frankly we simply don't know why it is going wrong. Both the stream and the download work without any problems from here - if anyone knows why its stopping we'd love to know - there's simply no reason it isn't working - so i don't know why.
