Please leave comments on the article "Tutorial: Uploading files to Freesound with various FTP applications..." here...

perhaps reference to (recent) FLAC support may be added?

heeeeeeeelp, please
I want to download only one or two sound files . What can I do?

Once you have found the sound file you want on the website, just click the "download" link. You only need to use FTP when you want to upload sounds.

What if you can't find the download link, is there another way to download the file?

there is no other way to download the files on freesound except for clicking the download link.

To download a file you always need a link because there is the adress of the file on the server.
Without it you can't have access to it.

Am i missing something or has the article link been removed??

Right here man:

You can get to it from the articles page:
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/articles.php

Although it might be a good idea for bram to link to it in his post at the top...

Did you read this thread?


I don't think I can make it any clearer without taking a screenshot of a page and circling the download link.
What the hell, I'll do that too...


See it?
I don't mean to be caustic, but I don't see how this is so difficult. Maybe we need a little "download" icon to attract the eye. (perhaps one of these? LGPL/CC-BY-SA)

Or is it that people aren't getting you have to go to the sample view page to download?

Anyway welcome to freesound, I hope you figure out how to take advantage of this great resource.

It does seem, that for a lot of people, a normal Left click on "Download" doesn't do the trick. If that's true for you, do a Right click and choose "save target as" or "save link as".

Hello,

Harry says thr right ws_ftp is the best programm i think i only work with that.

"See it?
I don't mean to be caustic, but I don't see how this is so difficult."


i agree with this being said..however some of the links i noticed (awhile back haven't check in a few months) didn't have the download link next to them. so perhaps some people are having problems with links that aren't there. hence why some are using the "save target as" way.

just to let you know =)

Well, bram added the "download" button, it used to be just a text link so I think that having the prominent button with arrow will help. If you're seeing files now with no download button, please report that as a bug.

Also, just trying freesound on windows+internet explorer here, I see that a left click with default settings opens up the file in windows media player, I think it's only saved to a temporary directory. The solution of course is to do "Save Target As..." (IE).
I never actually experienced this problem before with windows+firefox+whatever else I had set up, or mac+camino like I use mostly now.

(Aside, I think I was replying to a post when I put up that image, but it looks like that post may have been deleted so now it's a bit out of context.)
