There are no spaces in any of the link titles. The areas that seem to appear to be spaces are actually underscores (in case you are typing the links). The streaming server does not find the files if a spaces are between words.
Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.
Thank you,

Remember, if you did not come up with the idea, and it is not common knowledge, then you need to cite the source.
For example, if you use a photo you found on the web in your research paper, should you cite it? Absolutely!
If uncertain about any citation requirements, ask your professor for clarification.
