Podcast download taking LOOOOONG time

by Minh2008 - 1/14/09 3:11 PM

I download 2 CNet podcast regularly... and since late last week, I noticed that it is taking an extremely long time to download one.

For example, I used to be able to download BOL in about 2 minutes... As of right now, FireFox is telling me that it's going to take 25 minutes.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm having the same problem, but all I get is two minutes of downloading and then an error.

I definitely saw the downloading stopping, too, but luckily FireFox can resume the download

It's been getting slower and slower lately. I just downloaded a similar size podcast and it took 10 seconds. BOL is currently downloading at 17 kb/s which is going to take 30 mins. ugh

Odd halving before it stopped altogether

by gcoryer - 1/15/09 5:01 AM In reply to: Podcast download taking LOOOOONG time by Minh2008

I'm seeing the same problem with an odd twist. The download rate for just CNET podcasts has seemed to drop by a factor of two over the last 3 or four days getting progressively slower. Today the podcasts no longer download at all. I am using Juice and using buzzoutloudpodcast.cnet.com as the RSS link.
