Hello Jim and Blake, In addition to Blake's suggestion about interacting with a Blind Cool Tech link and using VO-Shift-M to bring up the context menu to find a "Download linked file" option, if you know you want to download a file you can press Option-Return instead of using the context menu. This is a Safari shortcut that forces a file to download. It works for any kind of linked file, so if you want to download a PDF file instead of displaying it in your browser, for example, you can use Option-Return here, too.
Another tip, if you only want to check the most recent Blind Cool Tech files -- the last 40 or so -- I find it much faster to use their RSS feed site. Just add a slash followed by "bct.xml" to their site name, e.g.: http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml The page loads much faster because you don't have to load links to all the episodes for several years, and you also won't have to interact with each entry first just because the links are in headings (on the main Blind Cool Tech page.) If anyone is using VoiceOver with older systems, like Tiger, using the RSS feed site makes a big difference in performance (and they can also use Option-Return as I described.)
