15 min to download sound?

When I open a lesson page, everything but the sound opens as usual, and quickly. But the sound, the rectangular player under the lesson picture, takes over 15 minutes to load. This problem just started a day or two ago, and isn't consistent. Right now, I have to wait over 15 minutes, but last night there was no problem at all, the sound downloaded immediately. But, then again, yesterday morning I had to wait over 15 minutes (or just give up).

I tried clicking on the "full lesson, radio quality" link, and that page won't load for me at all (at least, it's still trying to load now after I clicked it five minutes ago).

Everything else, other than sound, is working perfectly. I can play the matching game with my vocabulary cards, everything loads quickly. I just can't listen to the lesson.

Any ideas?

I did find a way around this problem: If I click on "Lesson MP3" while I'm still looking at the lesson summary on the dashboard page, this link opens and loads immediately.

So, I'm off to listen to the lesson!

Oh, I did just figure out why it's inconsistant. It's old lessons where the sound dowloads slowly or not at all (specifically the advanced lesson 癌症, at the moment).

The sound in new lessons are loading quickly and without any problems.
