I haven't had that problem but have you tried to download instead of streaming?
Downloading has worked for me in the past, not now. Windows Media Player does not recognize the file type (.crdownload).
Also, when the file sticks, it sticks. I cannot click beyond the sticking point and get it to resume.
The podcast file name: "WOody-Pod-.mp3.crdownload" I eliminated ".crdownload" hoping to get a clean .MP3 file; didn't work, still won't play. Hope this info is helpful to those attempting to fix the issue.
More: Guess I'll try to download the file again and see if it fully downloads. Firefox was giving me trouble, received advice to switch to Chrome, guess that ain't the solution, either. . . .

A file with the CRDOWNLOAD file extension is a Chrome Partial Download file. Seeing one most likely means that the file isn't completely downloaded.
In other words, the partial download is due either to the fact that the file is still being downloaded by the Chrome browser or that the download process was interrupted and so it's only a partial, incomplete file.
