Help downloading BBC podcast on VarioII

[Guest WILBUR]

On the BBC this morning they announced a BBC breakfast podcast, available on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/breakfast/5331464.stm

I thought given my HSDPA and WnW Pro I'd download it on my mobile, but when I clicked the link it appears to try to open the file in Internet Explorer (pages of symbols appear) rather that starting a file download.

Anyone advise how I can force a download?

The web page mentioned gives details of the Breakfast podcast initiative.

The feed url is

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/download...podcast/rss.xml

If you use a RSS reader on your podcast PC, create a new channel for the above web address, make sure you ask your rss reader to download associated enclosures/podcasts, and next time it will download.

hope it helps

I'll give it a go with an RSS reader, but surely I should be able to download and save the file on demand as well as I can on my pc?

Yes you can. Haqving checked the BBC Breakfast/podcast website, the url for this particular podcast seems to be this:

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/download...-0600_40_st.mp4

If you want daily/weekly automatic download of the relevant podcast, then a rss reader is needed.

I got the above url by visiting this BBC Breakfast page:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/breakfast/5331464.stm

then clicking on the "download this" on the right hand side of the page.

The podcast address (for automatic download) is located behind the "podcast" link just below the "download" link, and is a s mentioned in my earlier post.

You should get sorted.

Okay - so it appears that this works fine using Opera browser but not using Pocket Internet Explorer

Still don't know why not...
