Feed Changes

Hi everybody,

If you’ve been having trouble downloading recent episodes, it’s because our web host has been throttling us due to high demand. I have added some caching to our site, and made some changes to the RSS feed in an attempt to alleviate the problem and speed everything up.

In case you’re wondering, our new RSS feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/talkingdead/

The nice thing is you don’t have to change the RSS feed you’re subscribed to in order to continue automatically downloading the latest episode. If you’re using the old feed, you will be automatically redirected to the new one. The changes should be totally transparent to everybody, but hopefully the downloads will happen a lot smoother.

If anybody continues to have issues, please let me know by sending an email to talkingdeadpodcast@gmail.com. We’ll do our best to get things sorted out for you.

Thanks for listening!

Chris

    Great show, so I am prepared to wait, but yikes !

    how many hours does it take to download the podcast at 5 kb/s. Mabey five hours ?

  4. Matt says:

    Thinking ahead, mabey the podcast can be downloaded as a torrent file ? That way the show doesn’t have to depend on just one throttled server.

  5. Ben says:

    Ok, the RSS feed may be located elsewhere, but the audio content the feed links to is still hosted at media.blubrry.com. It’s extremely slow to download.
