No one seems to seed the Rev3 torrents.

There's no point when you can download them so quickly through the website.

Exactly. I don't even know why they post torrents anymore anyways.

None of the Rev 3 programs, but specifically Diggnation download for me. At best, i get a minute or two and then it stalls out. It isn't me, because stuff from other podcast outlets work, just not Diggnation/Rev3.
how do i get it? I cant even get a full show off direct download.

The direct download is a ton faster, when i tried downloading the latest Geekdrome the other day I had to torrent it and there was only 1 seed and it took like 2 and a half hours when the direct download is like a half an hour or something.

Man, that really sucks. When I download Diggnation and Geekdrome, the two largest by far, it takes me about 5 minutes or so.
You guys could do a traceroute back to the server you're downloading from, and post it here. Maybe there's a problem we can spot? Or, maybe you live in, like, North Dakota?

I think that they should only offer torrents...:-O

Cachefly is slow for me. I get much higher speeds on torrents elsewhere. They should only offer torrents and stop the whole members thing cause of diggdown
Or at least not publicly release the torrents to non-members, and have diggdown handle it so that it seems like you have to pay.

Anything... It just seems to have happened since the relaunch, and only on Rev 3 shows.
Its pretty frustrating. I mean, Adam Curry's stuff comes in fine, but, that means I'm listening to adam curry.
Help me, someone...you know I should be listening to Kev and Alex and John and DannyT....

I've been having the same issue with downloading it through iTunes. The first couple of minutes work just fine but then just get's garbled up.
Mp3 version cuts off at around 5minutes as well.

I think what they should do is offer the torrents for free, but subcribers still get the direct download option. I think if people could torrent Diggnation on Saturday nights, at least a handful of people wouldn't mind seeding it.
I personally haven't really had any problems... I downloaded a couple old episodes last night to put on my iPod, and they seemed to download slower than normal, but I am on my school's connection right now, so that could be it too.
