Post by: bennyd on January 20, 2006, 11:10:23 am
Since this release my Podcasts will not download anymore, they stay forever in "WAITING" status

It works for me.  Maybe it's the site?

Sorry, my fault, I download them on a network drive and that drive was not active

Works for me also.   Things to check:

First make sure there is no episode on another feed.  More recent episodes are downloaded before less recent ones, and feeds themselves are always loaded first.   Possibly you have a stuck feed or some stuck episodes elsewhere.

What I do is to make sure the number of sumultaneous downloads is large enough (podcast options, I use "3") and you are not stuck elsewhere.   If nothing obvious appears, it could still be a stuck feed.  If your number of simultaneous downloads is "1", you can still read up 2 feeds, but only one episode at the same time.

It might help to know that the podcast description (top of page) for each feed is read up on each reboot of the program.  If you don't see the description, the feed didn't load.

Hope this helps,
gene

:)  I've done that kind of thing before.  It's like looking for your glasses and finding you're wearing them.
