Facts:

iTunes 4.9 supports podcasting.
Our logs are flooded with failed iTunes requests. It's amazing how many people are using this.
iTunes does not support BitTorrent
DNR and Mondays podcast feeds point to .torrent files

Therefore: iTunes does not download DNR and Mondays... until 5 minutes ago, that is.

That's when I modified our RSS generator applet to point to the binaries, bypassing BitTorrent altogether for podcasting.

Basically, I can't wait for iTunes to get its act together. So, you may notice a marked slowdown of service on Monday mornings.

C'est la vie.
