#FF00AA

6 jul. 2005

Why haven’t I seen anyone complain about iTunes eating the whole bandwidth, to the point of making a simple chat session lag, as it tries to download all podcasts simultaneously (even causing some downloads to fail, in which case they’re just abandoned) every night at the same (and not configurable) time? Am I the only user in the world who’s sitting in front of his computer at two in the morning, with iTunes playing?

Oh, I know it’s a first version for the podcasting functionality, but come on, it doesn’t take a degree in nukular physics to figure you shouldn’t download all the mp3s you can eat at the same time.

Bye bye to podcasts, then. Anyway, it’s not that convenient when you don’t have a daily commute.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Je m'étais déçidé à passer au podcast, je trouvais ça plus pratique, et le réferencement par iTunes la grande classe.

L'histoire de bande passante ne m'avait même pas effleuré l'esprit (pourtant ça devrait je commence à avoir l'habitude...) avant de voir cet article je sais plus où.

Effectivement ça n'est pas venu à l'esprit de grand monde et les voilà bien emmerdé maintenant...

Quel article tu sais plus où ?

Je ne parle pas de la bande passante sur le site, parce qu'apparemment les podcasts repris par le iTMS sont mis en cache par Apple, donc ne coûtent justement rien à leurs auteurs.
