Why Was the Industrial Revolution Midlandish?

UPDATE: The hamsters were overstressed and died.

Dear Brad,

Thanks for publicising Bob Allen's Tawney lecture. This was so succesful that we had to take it down briefly (there 10,000 downloads in half a day and it was a problem for the hoster). We have now resolved that issue and it is back online. I see your website indicate it is still offline: http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2009/10/why-was-the-industrial-revolution-midlandish.html?

Would it be possible to update this again? Thanks.

To which the only response I can give is that the embed appears to be failing for reasons I do not understand, but the clickthrough to: http://www.yada-yada.co.uk/tawney2009/Tawney2009.html appears to be working...
