In the File perspective, edit FTP site properties, I often must check "Upload file on save".

Question

For some reason, this particular property does not stay checked.  When I first start CF Builder, it is always unchecked.  Rarely, but occasionally, it will stop uploading on save while CF Builder is running.  I go to properties, and sure enough, the checkbox is unchecked.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior and hopefully found a solution?  Perhaps there is some config file that needs editing, or a folder or file permission that needs to be changed.

Well, a first thing I'd look into is what your podcast carrier is doing to your material.
MP3 compression artifacts are cumulative.  If I read your work flow correctly, you're downloading some material from the internet so that'll be MP3.  We can only guess how it was originated...it might have been recorded in MP3, transferred to a computer to editing, then saved again as MP3 so that's two codings and two sets of losses.
If you then download, Audition will convert the file to a form of wave for editing (necessary--since MP3 is frame based you can only do the most basic editing native to that format).  Save that to MP3 and that's a third MP3 coding,
Then comes the crunch.  Many host sites for podcasts take your material and re-encode it to an even lower/worse MP3 bit rate.  That gives a total of 4 MP3 codings...maybe more...with the last one likely at a pretty poor bit rate.  In my experience, each coding gets gradually worse until you hit a certain point then it's like going over a quality cliff.
If it sound good before you upload it, ask your hosting site what they're doing to your material.
