1.  How do I download a Shiur?
Click on "Download Now", then select the lecturer you are interested in and place a check in the box next to each Shiur you want to order.

2.  I downloaded the Shiur.  How do I listen to it?
The Shiur you downloaded was in a compressed format (.ZIP) to make it easier and quicker to download.  You must first "decompress" it to extract the MP3 files.  Those files can be imported into your iTunes/Real Player/ Music Match, or any other program you use to hear audio files. You can then listen to the Shiur on your computer or transfer to your MP3 player.

3.  What is an MP3 and what is an MP3 player?
MP3 refers to a file format that allows audio files to be compressed into smaller sized files while still maintaining high sound quality.  This is ideal for internet audio downloads and for storage on an MP3 player.
An MP3 player is a portable device on which you store your MP3 files (songs/Shiurim, etc.) and listen to them usually through headphones.

4.  Can I copy the Shiurim that I downloaded?
Thanks you for asking!  Yes and no.  All Shiurim on ShiurimToGo are copyrighted and may not be copied or distributed, except for the following:

  • You may copy your downloads onto your own MP3 player

  • You may burn a Shiur you downloaded onto a CD for personal use.

  • You may make a backup of all your downloads for your own protection.

5.  Many online sites offer free downloads.  Why do you charge for Torah classes?
Another very good question. 
Most Shiurim that are found online for free downloads are recordings made during public classes.  (Ocassionally ShiurimToGo.com will post such Shiurim free of charge).  These are very useful and we are all grateful to those who post them.

Very often, the lecturers giving the class are paid for the class that is later posted for free download.

ShiurimToGo is unique in that the classes offered are recorded expressly for the benefit of our listeners and are NOT recorded in public classes.  The lecturers record the classes in a private sound controlled environment in order to provide the best quality Shiurim to our listeners.

It is understood that this is a tremendous commitment on their part to continuously produce new shiurim  and they should be compensated for their time.

Additionally, in order to provide the vast amount of Shiurim that we do (currently over 100 Shiurim)  ShiurimToGo must incur a large amount of storage and hosting costs.
