Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Anybody else having problems downloading Buzz Out Loud 10/6?
Why does Apple iTunes hate BOL?
by ScoopIrish - 10/10/06 12:43 PM In reply to: Anybody else having problems downloading Buzz Out Loud 10/6? by MuckcluckI can't download the latest episode (10/6) from iTunes either. It teases me in my iTunes 7 downloading queue, then never comes. (Pun intended.) Frustrating.
Yes, Me Too
by GhadRam - 10/10/06 2:57 PM In reply to: Anybody else having problems downloading Buzz Out Loud 10/6? by MuckcluckYes, for the past couple days I have been unable to download BOL on iTunes. Last night I tried to download the mp3 directly from this site but still had problems (as in 13 hours to download at .6kbs). All my other podcasts seem to download OK except for CNET Daily News and Buzz Out Loud. I'm thinking it's something to do with CNET.
I've Seen This Too
by friaf1111 - 10/10/06 3:07 PM In reply to: Anybody else having problems downloading Buzz Out Loud 10/6? by MuckcluckUsing Juice, Amarok and through NewGator. Very inconsistant, though. It's as if the source is swamped because it keeps trying to download, but can't seem to make the connection. But then the next day it works fine. I don't think its at my end because other podcasts (netcasts) seem to work fine. It has been about 2 or 3 weeks since I've first noticed this.
Is there anything or geographic about this problem?
by Owyn - 10/10/06 4:08 PM In reply to: Anybody else having problems downloading Buzz Out Loud 10/6? by MuckcluckWas wondering if this might be an edge server / routing type of problem? If so, geographic location would tend to be close. The ISP may also be a common factor, but, not necessarily.
I am not seeing the problem, e.g. I reliably download at >400KB/sec from CNet. I am in Ontario using Sympatico DSL.
Interested in polling people who are having problems. Successful downloaders not needed unless it contradicts locale of failures.
Virginia checking in....

Ethereal doesn't like what's going on ...
by charlala - 10/10/06 6:44 PM In reply to: Anybody else having problems downloading Buzz Out Loud 10/6? by MuckcluckSo I couldn't download today's Podcast (10/10/06) from iTunes or the website. Decided to put Ethereal in the mix to sniff packets while I let iTunes connect. What I saw moving between my machine and CNET included TCP ACK lost segments, HTTP resets, and TCP retransmits. I'm betting my pennies it is a firewall issue of some kind at CNET's end. And for what it is worth - yes - all my other podcasts are downloading just fine.
Anyone else want to sniff and see if you see similar results?
It appears to be a problem with all CNet podcasts
by tberfa - 10/10/06 11:40 PM In reply to: Ethereal doesn't like what's going on ... by charlalaI can't download the following podcasts from iTunes nor directly from their respective "vanity" websites:
BOL
MP3 Insider
Gadgettes
The Real Deal
Now I'm going to be a day behind on BOL! It's ironic that today's (10/10/06) BOL is titled "Who's a moron now"? The answer is me, for wasting 1/2 hour trying download my daily fix.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Can't download any CNET podcasts no matter how I try
by fatbiker - 10/11/06 9:09 AM In reply to: It appears to be a problem with all CNet podcasts by tberfaIt doesn't matter if I use iTunes, the Cnet.com website, or some other RSS aggregator, I CANNOT GET ANY OF THEM TO DOWNLOAD. This seems to be a problem with CNET servers, not iTunes or my web browser.
New settings at Cnet the problem?
by dallasmusketeer - 10/11/06 2:29 AM In reply to: Ethereal doesn't like what's going on ... by charlalaI have never had a proble downloading any of the podcast until now. I usually liten to a few at a time so I was listening to last weeks this Tuesday. I noticed that last Friday Veronica had said that she was going to start putting the cast out in 128 stereo. Guess what, I can't get any podcast since then. Hummm. I haven't made any changes on my end so I wonder if the new format at Cnet may be the offender? Keep up the good work crew 
My Badd
by dallasmusketeer - 10/11/06 2:43 AM In reply to: New settings at Cnet the problem? by dallasmusketeerOk, maybe I was a bit fast on the draw. I went back into I-tunes and had no problems getting the pod casts. I did have to try, try and re-try before I finally broke the secret code...Persistence. May the Cnet crew just wants to weed out the wanna-be's, an old FBI trick. I wanted the pod cast and I got it. Now I can go to sleep. Good luck to everyone else still trying.
I would but not much sense when ok
