The last few week I have been trying to listen to Ask JTF and they have been stopping after only a few minutes.  Does anybody know why this is happening?

HTTP is a lame protocol to stream video and audio. The best thing to do would be to download the show onto your hard-disk using a 'download manager' and then play it. When using HTTP it is possible that the player will be too slow or too fast for the data stream (thus starving the decoder). This is what 'buffering' is for. RTSP (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol) is the best way to stream video or audio data.

The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The protocol is used for establishing and controlling media sessions between end points. Clients of media servers issue VCR-like commands, such as play and pause, to facilitate real-time control of playback of media files from the server.

The transmission of streaming data itself is not a task of the RTSP protocol. Most RTSP servers use the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) in conjunction with Real-time Control Protocol (RTCP) for media stream delivery, however some vendors implement proprietary transport protocols. The RTSP server from RealNetworks, for example, also features RealNetworks' proprietary Real Data Transport (RDT).

RTSP was developed by the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control Working Group (MMUSIC WG) of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published as RFC 2326 in 1998.[1]

RTSP using RTP and RTCP allows for the implementation of rate adaption.[further explanation needed]

If that happens, just start it again a second time and it should work.
