Title: Podcast Percentages
Post by: benn600 on September 24, 2006, 01:14:34 am
The percentage meter for downloading podcasts doesn't seem to be working.  It always stays at 0%.  I am downloading the dl.tv podcast in this test and once they are done, it will move on to the other 4 I subscribe to.

Also, does the new MC 12 support bittorrent podcast downloading?

No on bittorent.  Maybe some day.

On the other problem, maybe the file size is unavailable?  Does it happen on any podcast your downloading?

On a second podcast, yes.  I'm also downloading Radio Leo and it says 0%.

I left it going overnight to download.  Something must a' went wrong because it downloaded one file for Radio Leo and then must have crashed because it has about 3GB queued up.

I see this issue with many podcasts as well (not the crashing but the 0% progress bar).  They do download, but it gives me no indication of how it's progressing until they are suddenly "done".

I would also really, really, really like to see bittorrent support for podcast downloads.  Bittorrent is what will allow podcasting to really be "the broadcasting of the people" because otherwise, if you happen to get popular, the bandwidth bills get far too high!

Just want to register my interest in bittorrent being added sooner than later.

Just run Juice podcast receiver (free) and save them to a podcast folder then set MC to auto scan that.  This program accepts bittorrent downloads perfectly.
