Thursday, January 18th, 2007It seems that most aggregators (including iTunes) will not distinguish 3 downloads from the same post and will only choose the first posted. Although I plan to keep video, audio and pdf download links on the same post for access from this website, I will also make a seperate post for all pdf files so these can be downloaded as well as the main lesson from other sites.
