perhaps question should be: with what do i open the directory?

directory in question via: http://www.archive.org/details/HancocksHalfHour_481,
http://www.archive.org/compress/HancocksHalfHour_481.

and neither winzip nor 7zip recognize folder.
sincere appreciation for asssitance with this query.

Mr Feldberg,
Would you please check the posting in the Old Time Radio titled "Paging Allan Feldberg"?

My guess is that you didn't manage to download the whole thing... perhaps a connection glitch during download? You should have ended up with HancocksHalfHour_481.zip (784 MB) and it seems to work OK for me.

I got the right MB.
I got the right name, but excluding the extension [i.e. ".zip"].
Even adding the extension I didn't get file to decompress.
I can run it again, but it may be less of a pain to download item by item.

Thank you for swift reply.
Would I be indiscrete to state location of Hancock episodes elsewhere on net, considering BBC's opinion on what is and isn't in public domain?

With appreciation

allan

Purely a personal opinion, this. I am no copyright expert (and I also just happen to be logged in as librivoxbooks. ;)) but this is what the UK Copyright Service says in Fact sheet P-01 UK Copyright Law:

"Sound Recordings and broadcasts

50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was created, or,

if the work is released within that time: 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was first released."

So if these radio programmes were released before 1959 (and I think they were) they should be PD.
