Anybody else have a hard time downloading the podcasts?  I subscribe through iTunes, and for some reason the LC podcasts take forever to download, with multiple starts and stops.  All the other podcasts I listen to download quickly, with no problem.

I have experience slow download speed on itunes as well, but I have never had it fail.  Also, iTunes seems to not recognize that there is a new pod available for download, when the website has it available to stream.

I hadn't really noticed it before today, but this time I'm waiting for the last two podcasts to finish downloading to take with me on the train.

It's taking 10+ minutes per program. The stops & starts quit once I was down to only one file downloading.

I have found that setting iTunes to download one audio file at a time greatly improves performance.  I have also noted that the audioserver used by the conspiracy has been doing a lot of maintenance.  Hopefully download times will improve.

I find most podcasts on iTunes take FOREVER, with the exception of Free Talk Live.  I pay a hefty premium for the fastest DSL service short of a T1 connection, and expect ultra-fast access to content.  But I've been connecting through computer networks since before Al Gore invented the internetZ, so I can be patient.
