Im having trouble getting any of the podcasts to work. I get the typical "page cannot be displayed".

I dont have Itunes software, and would prefer not to, but assuming its just an mp3, winamp or other software should be able to play it. Am I wrong?

Ive tried 2-3 different episodes without luck, any thoughts?

yeah, sorry guys, there is a dedicated server that hosts the files (separate from the website) the datacenter where this server is had power issues and it took a bit for them to get it back up...

sorry for the inconvenience

and welcome to the forums guys, i hope you stick around and join the conversations here

Can't get very many podcasts to work, They just sit there trying to load (like your using dial-up) Are all of them availble? wanted to look at the video on overflows, but of course it dont work either. Whats the point of a talking reek podcast if nothing works?, Brine shrimp, DONT WORK, Is your system working??? At this point I don't think much of your show's. Sorry to be so frank. Any help would be appreciated, Looks like you have some real good content if I could see of hear it. BTW I also subscribed to netvibes to see and hear the shows, but all it does is go rite back to your site in the forums.

im sorry you are having problems.
it sounds like the problems are with the videos.

are you trying to download them from the website, the RSS feed, or using a podcast client like iTunes, juice, or something like that

as im sure you can see from the posts for each episode people are able to DL them now. after initial release the server was under heavy load from the hundreds of downloads. but that has since calmed down.

if you get them downloaded you will need quicktime/iTunes to play the videos, i do not know if any other player will work. audio files will play in any media player that supports MP3

just let me know and i will do what i can to help

for what its worth, i just downloaded an audio and a video file, and they both worked fine

another thing to keep in mind is that the video files are very large, so they will take some time to download. its best to use a client like itunes, and them them downlaod automatically in the background, then they will be availible when you are ready.
