Podcasts trouble

cheshire_cat · Oct 19th, 2008, 09:29 PM

Whenever I download podcasts these days, they are timing out. I have to keep hitting the restart arrow to get it to continue.

any ideas of why this is happening and what I can do?

Thanks

Does this happen even on very short podcasts?

Is the iTunes store the only thing that behaves like this?

What about downloading a purchased song, or a video? Same problem?

This has only been happening on podcasts 45 minutes or longer. I have not bought any music or videos from the iTunes store, only have downloaded podcasts.

Do you have any trouble downloading large files off the net?

What ISP are you using, how are you connected, have you done any speed tests etc.

I have no problems downloading large files.

My ISP is Rogers. My wireless is set up using a belkin 54g router.

I use Limewire to download individual songs and always have fast speeds when downloading them.

I'm not sure what the problem could be. Do you have a screensaver of any kind activated? If not, disable it and check your sleep settings.

I download a very large podcast each day and have no trouble with this.
