 * I am currently trying to import this mp4 video file ([http://www.letstalktechshow.com/show/show/video/LetsTalkTech01.mp4](http://www.letstalktechshow.com/show/show/video/LetsTalkTech01.mp4))
   into power press but every time I click verify it gives me this error(Error occurred
   downloading media file.).
 * I have verified that the link works and I can enter that same link in the address
   bar and it will play the mp4 video fine, but why is power press not accepting
   the working mp4 link?

 * That media URL verifies fine for me in test site. More than likely there is a
   firewall setup on your server blocking your server from accessing itself, or 
   a mod_security module in the server blocking the request. It may also be that
   your web hosting is not resolving your own domain locally correctly. Quick check
   for that is to add `127.0.0.1 www.letstalktechshow.com` to the server’s hosts
   file.
 * Rule of thumb, you do not want to host media files on the same server as your
   web site, it will cause traffic issues and result in slow loading web pages when
   you release new podcast episodes.
