Hello. I would like to contribute.

I'm kicking around "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", short story by Rudyard Kipling. It appears to be in the public domain. Other audio versions appear to be 34 to 36 minutes.

My 1 Minute Test has been approved. However, I assure you, I am a complete neophyte, particularly with technical matters.

Is my understanding correct that I would be expected to download this as 1 file?
