BBC radio is doing some neat Beethoven concerts and they're pushing the mp3s for download online.

You can find them here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/beethoven/downloads.shtml

Be warned, the site's been kinda slow on the download side (and the files are huge!) so you may time out a couple of times before you get connected. It seems to be a lot better today though.

Just a quick bump, 6, 7, and 8 are up, his easily immediately recognizable #9 should be out by Friday as per the site.

The 2nd movement of the 7th is my all time favorite.

Consider yourself lucky that you're downloading, I've been trying for an hour and timing out =P

The last time, I didn't get connected till the second or third day they were out.

Hmmm... I only got a few minutes of the 7th and it quit on me.

Most excellent, Stormhaven! I just wish I could have downloaded 1-5 as well.

Thanks for posting the site!

I guess I got really lucky. I am getting 60K and running all 3 at once.

I can't see the link for #9 on the page anymore (it may be me, our web cache is acting a little funky today) but you can still link directly to it <a href="http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/radio3/symphony9_beethoven_radio3.mp3">here</a>.
