Well as we're not downloading, we're recording, and that much extra hard
drive activity would probably cause the recording to become corrupted (hard
drive not keeping up with the incoming data) I would say you haven't really
learned anything!
Plus duplicating a file which may be up to 700Mb is probably a rather daft
way of listening to it and a waste of space anyway.
