iPodder Team Offers Tips to Avoid "Podsphere Meltdown"

July 01, 2005

iPodder_logo.jpgIan Leacy, iPodder Lemon Support, has posted some tips for dealing with the recent increase in demand for podcasts. Some sites have reported that their traffic has increased as much to as much as ten times previous levels since Apple added podcasting to iTunes.

Symptoms of this problem are errors in the log such as "timeout", "can't grab", "DNS lookup failure" and lots of failed downloads.

Tips for Surviving "Podsphere Meltdown"

  1. Leave iPodder running as much as possible (24/7 is great).
  2. Enable the scheduler in iPodder and set it for every two hours. iPodder -> Tools -> Scheduler Select "Check at regular intervals" repeat every "2 hours".
  3. Use BitTorrent feeds if available for the podcast.
  4. Don't get impatient. You may see a lot of 0% 0KB entries in your download log. They are just records of unsuccessful attempts to get connected to the podcasts server. e.g. It took 7 tries, 2 hours apart, before iPodder finally managed to download the Daily Source Code for Jun 28, 2005. Several other shows had similar problems.
