Franklins.Net Bandwidth Hell is officially OVER!!!

We just got our new and improved connection and it's blazing fast. I got 344k from my house via cable modem.

If you can't download, you probably need to flush your DNS cache (or wait until Network Solutions updates - up to 72 hours). To flush go to a command prompt and enter:

ipconfig /flushdns

Happy downloading!

Great, so we can get back to sharing your massive porn collection.

Does this mean bittorrenting days are over? Or that will still continue?

I thought about what u had mentioned in your post regards thoughts on bittorrent - maybe it does make sense to create a legit p2p downloader that is not abused for mp3s and movies? Something tied up with DRM maybe.

We're still going to use only BitTorrent for podcasting. There are some other protocols that do the same thing, but BT is tried and true. I also have a lot of faith in nimiq as a client. Since it's written in C#, and the guy doing it is willing to share the code load I think it may morph into a really great client tool. If you don't know about it, check out http://www.nimiq.nl

It combines an RSS podcasting client with a bittorrent client. All .NET

Ian,

Windows Media Center is built ontop of Windows XP. What this means is that any of the podcast clients for XP already out can run on Media Center, so there is no need to create one, unless you really, really want too.

Andrew, for the Media Center client I am going to concentrate on the listening end,so I can use any XP client to actual download the podcasts but still it would be nice to wrap the whole thing in a MCE client

Thanks Carl! Monday's is downloading now about 15 times faster than previous weeks. Also: DNR-100th was a great show and I'm thrilled to hear that Richard is the new co-host. Rory will be missed, of course, but Richard will be an awesome talent addition to the show.
