I noticed that the files aren't on harrybrowne.org anymore and managed to find this torrent:
http://fenopy.com/torrent/Harry+Browne+Libertarian+Radio+Show+Arch+/MjY0NjgxNw
I'm downloading at around 300kb/s and will be seeding on and off throughout this week.
For this who don't know, Harry Browne was the '96 and 2000 Libertarian presidential nominee. Ron Paul wrote a tribute to Browne when he died:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul313.html

Mr. Speaker, America lost a great champion of liberty when Harry Browne passed away on March 1, at the age of 72. Harry had a passion for liberty and knowledge of a wide variety of subjects. His communication style, as he himself so marvelously put it, focused on converting his opponents rather than winning the argument. These attributes helped make him one of the most effective proponents of the freedom philosophy I have had the privilege of knowing. Harry’s numerous books and columns, his radio and internet broadcasts, and his speeches educated millions in sound economics and the benefits of a free society. Harry motivated many people to become activists in the movement to restore American liberties.

If you're not up on technology, a .torrent file is something shared on the "bittorrent" file sharing network and requires you to use a download client software to actually get the mp3 (or whatever type) of files from the torrent. I've been using the free utorrent for years and would recommend it if you're new to this stuff:

there are many mp3 files of his radio show - you can see the topics/guests if you go to that page and look where it says 'files'

F'n awesome!! I've been on a huge podcast/audio kick lately. I tried downloading his shows from the website, but as you said, the downloads do not work there. Good find, thanks for sharing.

I will seed off and on as well...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your find with us!

For some reason, I derive an extensive amount of enjoyment from liberty podcasts and audio stuff...I think it's one of the best ways to spread the freedom message.

download is finished for me, but I am still seeding. Download speed varied for me. Sometimes it was almost 300 kb/s and sometimes it was like 40 kb/s

I'm a podcast junkie as well. I'll be downloading / seeding this when I get home. I do about 300k up.

I have pretty much all of Michael Badnarik's shows as well of all of Lew Rockwell's podcast show. I figure at somepoint I'll need to package these up and torrent them.

i'm in. have to limit my speeds to 200kb down 50 up. otherwise my modem/router drops the signal. it's a piece of motorola crap.

I can only download when everyone else in the house is asleep, because I live with WoW players, but so far I'm at around 30% and when I'm finished, I'll be sure to seed.

Currently seeding and enjoying this terrific series of radio shows! :)

I'm not exactly sure how this is done, but if anyone's of a mind to do it, it would be a great idea to upload these to Demonoid also.

It's amazing to me how these shows are still so fresh, even though they date back several years to the pre and post-9/11 days. If I hadn't been a statist back then, I'm sure I would have dug Harry's show big time, just like I am now!

Speaking of 9/11, I just finished the interview w/ Richard Maybury, author of Thousand Year War
http://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Year-War-Mideast-Affects/dp/0942617320
Browne spoke highly of this book, but I had never heard of it or the author. He, along w/ Browne, sounded just like Ron Paul on foreign policy.

Bump. I'll keep seeding today and tomorrow, then I'm done. I've got a seed ratio of 4.2 : 1 so it's done some good, but not many very recent downloads

i downloaded the torrent, thanks a lot, harry browne was a hero.
anyone listened to the show with eric dondero (05-10-29) ? i heard few shorter clips of it before, but listening to the whole thing now was even more insane: this guy believes that iraqi intelligence and al-qaeda were behind the oklahoma city bombing in 1995, that george w. bush should have dropped a nuclear bomb on mecca, and he's "very pro-choice on abortion", and he has the audacity to say that libertarians won't become popular and electable unless they listen to him... wow, just wow...

Sounds like Mr. Dondero's an incredibly confused guy.

No prob, Harry does a great job of condensing information and providing a logical, libertarian alternative. Just the kind of stuff that's good for youtube

I used to lie in bed listening to this show on the weekends... from some time in the early 2000s until 2006. My favorite part, beyond the wonderful content, is Harry's taste in music.

I always used to wonder who the owned "Glide/Write," a hard drive test head manufacturer located in Milpitas, California. Whoever it was, they must have been a big fan and paid for all the shows expenses because Harry touted the hell out of that company. Unfortunately, I never could use their services as I never required a "thermal asperity head," whatever that was. :confused:

The guys at free market news network freemarketnews.com have about 13 episodes of an online video show they made with Harry in 2005. Unfortunately, they took them all down. They didn't sound too interested in putting them back up when I e-mailed, either.

I wish they would upload them on youtube. :(

9 years later, this torrent is still available:

Nowadays I use BitlyBT (freeware, open-source) instead of utorrent (free version is ad supported).
