Can you not download from Archives anymore? It's been a year since I've tried and it's not working

??? Yes you can, just not the soundboard recordings, look for the audience recordings.
Here's a random sample: http://www.archive.org/details/gd1987-0 ... eok.flac16

scroll down a bit...
you can download the Flac files for better quality or mp3s...

Yes but everytime I am done downloading and try to open it, it says I'm missing a file to open it..

You might try somewhere else besides the archive...

Um... so that sounds like your playback not the downloading. Are you downloading FLACS? If so most programs, such as WINAMP, need a plugin to playback FLAC files. If MP3s, then you got more of a problem cause Windoze Media Slayer isn't recognizing the file (or whatever player you are using). See if you got the files in a folder on your computer disk. I personally download FLACs from archive.com and then convert them to .wav files using one of many free utilities. Then I either listen and enjoy or I scrunch them down to MP3s and try to enjoy.
