Great job gang. Gayle and I both truly enjoy the show. Top shelf!
Thanks Bruce (and Gayle!). We really appreciate the feedback.
Dear Sir’s
I find your sites ability to down load the Podcasts very poor, this is now the 3trd one I Have downloaded, and the speed is the same less than 10K per second. This means it take a long time to down load a relatively small file. I routinely down load 500 Mb files in the same time that I am down loading your podcast, any thing you can do would be good.
I like the podcasts them selves.

Nick
Thanks for the feedback, Nick. This is the first we’ve heard of download issues from our listeners, and we’re getting relatively good volume of downloads each week for such a young podcast.
This site is hosted out of an enterprise-class datacenter, on a very fast connections, so downloads should be at a decent speed, and more likely will be limited by the link at your end.
I’ve just downloaded the last couple of episodes to my home connection and have seen 200kB/s, so it seems to be performing here – the 65MB MP3 came down in 4 minutes.
I’ll check with a few contacts and make sure that it is working for them too. In the meantime, I hope your downloads start working better for you.
Good job with the webcast. Excited to hear about the UGs interaction. Keep up the good work!
