Great show, slo-o-o-ow download

by tre~ - 1/30/07 8:48 PM

I enjoy the reparte' you three deliver with such verve. Thanks for the laughs. You are so quick and clever on the uptake. Not so quick nor clever is the download speed of BOL through iTunes. After clicking update, I walked upstairs, brushed and flossed, picked out a book to read tonight before listening to BOL, returned to the PC, checked progress, looked up my BOL username and password, and wrote this post. The download is just 1/3 done and I have a 5 meg down cable connection! And it was just as slow last night. Glad you Buzzers are popular and no complaints about the price, but, hey, we all love speed.

I use iTunes too. Mine took less than a minute and I was downloading 3 other podcasts at the same time.

I started the download at 0745 GMT and it 60 percent done at 0806 GMT.
I check my line and it is clean. I am wondering if the server it is hosted on is having issues.

When I downloaded the "01/30/07" episode this morning (CET), it was really slow.

I am in Hawaii and the normal speedy download is slow as a slug, iTunes is reporting 45 minutes for the download (1/30/07).

The 1/29 was the same.

Mine is going so slow that after a while iTunes will cancel the download altogether.
