They are audio and video files hosted on the Technion's MMS server.
The files are not stored locally, they are streamed over the network.
Downloading them for local play is not feasible as the files are
hundreds of megabytes in size and stream in realtime. That means that
downloading a 60 minute lecture takes 60 minutes. Although the
lectures can be played at high speed, they cannot be downloaded as
such.
