Has anyone dealt with this firm, and if so were you satisfied with their products?
They supply CDs of old radio shows at a very cheap price.
Are there any such sites on the internet?

http://www.oldradioshows.co.uk
It only changes to the link you pasted above when you select "My Account".
I think much of what they sell looks illegal.
Many of them are BBC shows that you can buy from the BBC.
These look like pirated copies that they have no right to sell.

Hope you read this! if you go to the relevant sites and pick the shows you would like, in Old Harry's Game page, there are entries by many people. Copy the files they show by press and hold left mouse on the beginning of http............ and sweep it to the right so the words are highlighted in a long blue box to the end of the address such as http://www.sendspace.com/file/w5ji27
then release mouse, bring the cursor over the blue box you've made and right click and select copy.
next, take cursor to your address bar, right click in the bar so the existing address is highlighted, select paste so your new address goes in it's place then click go. You will be taken to a download page that shows a download link, right click on it and select 'save target as' which should be a file on your comp, you can choose where you want to put it. I put mine in 'my music' file.
when the download is over, you should have a zip file containing the shows you selected. Assuming your comp has winzip, clicking on the file should unzip it so it becomes a normal yellow file containing the shows beside the original zip file. The shows are all mp3 format and will need changed to audio files if that's what you want. I keepp all mine as mp3 on disc and transfer them to my mp3 player or phone to use. You can get hundreds on a dvd disc! Good luck.
I know it sounds complicated but with practise it'll work.

The forum you can see has loads of radio shows on it. most of the entries people have made contain the addresses to go to (click and paste as in my previous message).unfortunately I don't see Just William on that page.
When you are viewing the page, go to the top of your screen and click on 'edit', move the cursor down and click 'find on this page' then type a word you'll find in the title you're looking for, then click 'find next'. It will be automatically highlighted for you. for example, if looking for Dads Army then type 'Army' in the find box and click 'find next'. keep clicking 'find next' until you see what you're looking for.
Have a practise using Dads as the search word, keep clicking 'find next' until you come to somene called p-bello. you will see he has made Dads Army files available.
then all you need do is left click and sweep over the first address, in this case http://rapidshare.com/files/47036497/DA_01_Epi s_01_to_08.rar
then rightclick it and copy it then up to your address bar and right click, paste, then Go. it's a rapidshare site and easy to use, click on Free then Download.
Not everyone on the forum uses the same place for downloading from but most are easy to use. Rapidshare only allows one file per person to download with a time limit to download another.
the bigger the file, the longer wait til the next.
I have a small collection of radio files myself. You could, if you wish, let me know your e-mail and I could give you a list. if there is anything I have you'd like I'd send them on a dvd.
