I know that several hundred of our listeners on the MacReviewCast have been experiencing horrible download speeds, or no download capability at all. For that I apologize and want to thank all of you for staying subscribed and for your patience. I think I finally have the problem handled, at least for episode 91.

I have the feed temporarily switched over to Libsyn servers starting with episode 91, and 91 enhanced. If you go into iTunes or your pod catching software and manually start the download again for episode 91, you should see that the speed is back to normal. You can also download it directly from the website in the shownotes.

I will keep uploading the episodes to Libsyn until all the problems with my original server are solved and the speeds get back to normal for everyone. Again, thank you so much for all your patience and understanding. Each and every listener is important to me and I thank you for your understanding.

Update: Here is a link to the podcast from a third party website:
DivShare File - The_MacReviewCast_Episode_88.mp3

I’ve received several reports from listeners that the download speeds, especially though iTunes are extremely slow. There are several explanations and I think my ISP may be routing traffic to another server in the Pacific Basin and that would have it route through Taiwan which had the data cables break last week in the quake.
Either way, if you’re finding your connection with iTunes is slow this week, please try the direct link to the podcasts and see if that helps speed the downloads. I appreciate your patience in this matter and am told that any server troubles will be cleared up shortly.
Here are the links..
