Have you tried some of the generic firefox plugins?

Unplug, for example, will scan pages for downloadable media.

OK, I found the page.. the file is an embedded swf, encoded in the arguments for a player. It is probably deliberate to make it hard to download, and convenient to stream. Someone may know how to pull the audio from their player (you could use wireshark to trace the requests being made by the browser -- but this is highly technical and would take time.) I do not know a convenient tool to handle this particular page off the top of my head.

My advice would be, if you want your files, keep them on your own disks, rather than uploading them to a "service".

     "/flash/expressInstall.swf", false, { wmode: 'transparent' }, false);
