Every episode seems to sit and do nothing during download. This continues for several minutes until I cancel the download. I tried getting the episodes directly from the Podiobooks site but media.podiobooks.com always gives a timeout.
Note that I did get the download for "You've caught up" for Notes From the Vault just fine.
I'm having a problem downloading Singularity chapter 12. Chapter 13 is A'OK. It seems that whenever I have a problem with a book that problem is resolved transparently shortly after I post a help request about it (by shortly I mean immediately), so this time I waited a day to see if it would resolve itself. It hasn't. Are you guys doing anything on that end? This is hardly the first time this has happened to me and while it would appear there's something funky going on on my end (since I so frequently have trouble), that doesn't really mesh with the facts if you guys are able to correct the problem. Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?
Episode 17 of Odd Jobs and episode 28 or Nocturnal are only downloading a few kbytes and then ending. The problem seems to be with the company handling your download server since when I go to download the episodes directly I get an error message from them.
You also might want to look at the link to this site on the Community page. It points to the wrong place (podioboks.getsatisfaction.com) and returns a 404 page.
I would like to finiesish the book 7th son but the website will only let me download the first three chapters and i hate the ending of the 3rd chapter, major cliff hanger. please help
Episode 13: Chapter 8 Part 1 of Checkwolf Book One refuses to download on my podcatcher (says there is an error). This has been going on for a week or two. I tried to download it straight from the site, but it says there is an error there, as well.
For some reason the episodes of Grey by Jon Armstrong are showing up as playable files in iTunes; however, the episode time is at a minimum an hour and twenty minutes (Episode 1) and currently at a max of approximately 3 hours (Episode 4). While the files do play they sound significantly slowed down to a point where the speech is unrecognizable. Other novel downloads appear to be working correctly.
Origin Scroll nr.12 and Devlin nrs. 14 & 15 cannot be downloaded, because of an server error of the libsyn servers. The error message is:

Oops... there was a problem delivering this file
Something went wrong on our end. We apologize for the inconvenience. Our staff has been notified of this issue and will get it fixed as soon as possible.
i need to know why i cannot re-download the episodes 1 & 5 for the book "Ancestor." When i downloaded the episodes they were not found and every time i refresh the podcast i get nothing back. what do i do?
The last chapter of One Among the Sleepless won't download. I've tried to do it manually, but it just tells me I've finished the book. How can I override the system?
I have a problem downloading scott siglers new podcast nocturnal. itunes says it is an invalid feed, is this my problem or a problem at podiobooks end?
I am unable to download all episodes of Mur Lafferty's Wasteland via Itunes. It acts as though it has downloaded the episodes but when i sync them to my ipod it then reads that the original could not be found.
Episodes not downloading? Some time last night, the links to all of our files went down. We're in the middle of an upgrade to Libsyn Pro, and something obviously went wrong.
Tech support has been notified, and I'm hoping for a resolution shortly. As soon as I hear it, I'll post something here. Or you should just notice your episodes start to download on your next refresh cycle.
And hey, I'm in the same boat. I have about 2 hours of driving ahead of me today and was looking forward to episodes from four books I'm listening to!
First, thanks for hanging in there while we struggled with this issue. We've just heard from the media hosting company (Libsyn, and I really do love those guys) that the issue has been tracked down and fixed.
We think.
Reality is that there may be some lingering bugs. If you find a buggy episode, we need to know about it. Huge props to all of you who've been using this site to report problems. It's many times better than email.
If you do notice a problem, what we really need is the URL of the file you are trying to access. Now that's going to be hard to get if you are letting your RSS reader do the downloading. You can access the book's page and try to download the episode directly. That should give you a URL. But really, just telling us the episode number and the book title will be enough.
Here's to hoping this problem is fixed, and that we can get on to more important things, like adding new books and updating existing ones!
