Missy Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Is anyone else having a hard time downloading the podcasts either from iTunes or directly from the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I stream straight from the site, and I'm having no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hmm. I'll have to test the download speed at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 It must be something with my home connection, because I was able to download the latest show quickly here at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 No problems beside the usual iTunes problems. I'm thinking about ditching my iPod because iTunes is just horrible, and I haven't found a free app that does what it does with the podcasts. The iPod itself is great.

Missy Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Okay, this is weird: when I attempted to download WFP 15 here at work, it took 15 minutes. Sure, it's a large file (67 MB), but it shouldn't take that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's a large file (67 MB), but it shouldn't take that long. How many computers are on the network there? The network might be bogged down or having trouble. Is that the only one doing it or is another podcast(not your's) doing it also? I'm downloading it now with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 There are 19 computers on the network, but this is the first time download speed has been an issue. I mean, in the fourth post in this thread I wrote: It must be something with my home connection, because I was able to download the latest show quickly here at work. After checking iTunes, it appears other podcasts are dragging ass too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 The initial problem was at home, but I was able to download Earth-2.net: The Show 172 rather quickly at work. When downloading World's Finest Podcast 15 today at work, it was slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm having major problems trying to download WFP. It was at 30% and then it plummetted back to 3% (???) and now it's crawling at a snail's pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yup, something is up here, because it's taking me roughly seven minutes to download files that are 30-ish MBs. Normally those would be done within 60 to 90 seconds. Everything I've tried (e.g. E2, CGS, Birds of Geek) is slooooow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I just resubscribed and it does seem to go up and down in speed, but only slightly. Do you use a service like Cachefly? Or do they all come from one server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 All episodes of Earth-2.net: The Show are hosted on the Earth2.net server, and all episodes of WFP are on the WFP server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 WFP takes a loooong time to dl as well as E2 the show but not as long. DM, I"ve found, just sits in the tray below the name of my podcast and I have to click "get it" before it downloads. No automatic dls for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Yeah, WFP downloads seem to drags ass! I'll have that looked into shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 BUMPETY-BUMP!! None of my Earth-2.net podcasts are updating on iTunes. I have the most recent version of Apple's media behemoth and my non-Earth-2.net podcasts are unaffected, so something happened after Dread Media 232 downloaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 This issue popped up a few weeks ago, and though it took me a few days, I seemed to have fixed it. Then, like you, it started acting up again today. However, as of right now, it seems to have corrected itself. Try to refresh your iTunes podcast section, and please let me know what happens.

Guest TFG1Mike Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I actually thought that E-2 TS was not downloading anymore. I unsubbed then resubbed, found out 492 was the last one that was published. Before 02.06 of DD released I had errors on iTunes for WFP, E2, TT, and DD saying that they could not be found on the server. Since then they all seem to be fine. I already have all the WFP eps so no worries there. Mike is right though iTunes is downloading smaller files very slow. It took 15 mins to download a different podcast I listen to a 60MB file, which was an hour and a half podcast. It should not take that damn long.

Missy Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 It seems there's an issue with the server, 'cause I'm having trouble connecting via the FTP. I'll check it again in a few hours to see if it's been corrected. If not, I'll contact GoDaddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have been having problems off and on for the last month. Mostly will fix itself in an hour or so. This time, I haven't been able to do anything for the past two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenalphabro Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I haven't been able to get the most recent Extra Lives episode. Is this a problem for anyone else, or is it just my shitty computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 After e-mails got me nowhere, I finally called GoDaddy. We think the problem has been found and corrected, but it could take 24-72 hours to verify this. Hopefully much less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Holy fuckstick, Mike! It's fixed already! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
