What is everyone using to download the shows? I have about had it with iTunes. Half the time the downloads timeout and I have to click the get button again and again till it works and plus the format is not really what I would prefer and its a pain to download them individually every few days.
Thank you.

iTunes...
I use Miro and love it. Not only does it auto-download all the RSS feeds but it plays virtually all video codecs in it's internal player. You could get the Rev3 one or just get the regular one put the shows on it.

Flash player ftw.Yeah - I agree. I still DL the small mov version via iTunes for my iPod when I am travelling, but I now watch Rev3 via the flash player.

I usually right-click save as the HD mov version for Diggnation so I can bring to a friends later whom doesn't have internet, and for short shows such as the dailys I watch in the player.

Thank you everyone. With work I cant always get the shows everyday so I like to download them and put them on my PSP for when I am out of town for work to keep me busy. I have yet to jump on the iPod band wagon so my PSP is all I have right now.
I forgot all about Miro and have downloaded that and will give that a try and see if that work for me. I want to be able to get the show in Xvid or or something so it converts easily for my PSP and also if I wanna put em on DVD for some reason.
Again, Thank you everyone. :)

PSP likes that just fine. Hell, I have my PSP download it automatically every day.

I use Miro to download the HD feeds to an external hard disk, which I use with my XBox 360. When I used to watch stuff on my iPod I used iTunes (I still think it's just fine, I just don't use my iPod for video any more). Now when I go from place to place (like I do between classes ;) ) I use my PSP (better screen than the iPod's) to both download and view the videos (no more having to sync, with my iPod monopolizing my single functional USB port... I need to get that fixed). Am I missing anything? ;)

Thanks everyone. I am gonna try to DL with the PSP and see how that works. Miro works way better than iTunes for me.
