.NET Rocks! downloads skyrocket in November, 2004

We've had a record 196770 downloads of all shows since November 1st, as of this writing. I'm only counting the files that start with DotNetRocks and report a successful transfer, and I'm also excluding spiders.

That's just from Franklins.Net. I'll have to bug the MSDN people about their latest stats. That's really incredible.

I guess that means they like the new no nonesense version. It's something I can pass off to my supervisor as 'work related'.

I wonder if there's a correlation between increased downloads and increased sales of the iPod? I know I've downloaded at least 8 shows this month that I am now able to enjoy with a new iPod. Keep rockin', Cool Carl!

Seriously! I just saw 'Channel 9 India' that had Sheila Gulati being interviewed about .NET evangelism in India - http://channel9.msdn.com/india/default.aspx
If they can do it there then we can do it here!

OK, confession time...

Last month, I downloaded the show 196,765 times.

The other five I can't account for, but Sahil must be at *least* three of them.

There. Now I feel better. ;->

NJ, I was the little guy in your pc fetching the shows from the internet and putting them on your hardware.

Hey BTW, something on the lines of DNR - here is what I did -

The MSDN webcasts, I used asfrecorder to strip the WMV, played them and connected the speaker out to the line in on my sound card - recorded the sound onto a wav file - converted to mp3 - threw it on my iPOD .. .. . I need some sunlight huh?

NJ John said:

Damn Sahil! I was considering doing something similar with "The Dot Net Show" videos a while back, but I never got around to it.

Good to know that sick minds think alike! ;->

Don't forget that when you install iPodder and subscribe to the DNR feed, you get the last 8 (?) shows downloaded automatically. And those downloads don't seem to be all at once, at least on my mobile system. Perhaps numbers are spiking because people are messing with the whole new array of podcasting tools. Or people like me that use a downloader util that makes 10 connections at once to minimize the latency on a satellite connection for each download. Perhaps the quantity of downloads should be compared to actual bandwidth used.
