The URL that my download manager had was misspelled. Since I get that URL from the feed, it must have been misspelled at one time, though it has been corrected in the feed listing now. So, updating the URL from the feed let me download the file. I just now sent an email. The URL that my download manager had was misspelled.

In the U.S. it's so easy to set up mutual fund deposits automatically...I have no idea how to do it here. Have you tried to contact U.S. based fund companies to see if you can set up with your paycheck? I imagine it's tricky (and expensive...fees) to convert yen to dollars (or whatever currency you desire) then to mutual fund shares. But, hey this is Japan! The land of fantastic service! There must be a way to do it...Have you tried Nikko Cordial or other Japanese brokerage companies? Your bank MUFG must have something available. I'll ask my wife (Japanese) how she would do it. Also, I wonder if your human resources dept. would be able to help. Phil,

Also I want to set up the savings plan automatically so that it is done every month without me lifting a finger. The citibank site also has no information on mutual funds or something similar, all the have are the super teiki(minimum 100000yen deposit, interest is 0.23%-0.76%) and Oguki teiki(mimimum 10 MILLION yen, interest is 0.25%-0.66%). Good job getting the video vocabulary back online but what about this lesson? I still can't access LI#77 on iTunes...

I wonder how you'd say that in 日本語？ Anyway, I think I'd answer: お客様申し訳ありませんが、預金は売り切れです。 "売り切りてしまいました。" would be too polite :roll: Peter, have you noticed that yuichiさんやnaomiさんはあなたの言うことにぜんぜん賛成はできませんね。どしてかな。。。。？:mrgreen: This is a very iffy customer, ね。Or in Dutch: ‘een hele foute gast’.

I live in Tokyo, but still use my Citi U.S. based a/c and am very happy. When I open an account with Citi in Japan will let you know how it went. Todd :smile: Phil,
