Two of the three subscriptions did not download an episode - I got an error instead. iTunes could not deliver, either. I removed the subscription to those two stories: Somebody Somewhere, Secret Sidewalk.

I am puzzled. I never used to get so many errors. Is this the price I pay for increased readership, or is it server troubles?

I have invoked St. Vidicon to intercede for me and battle Murphy so I can enjoy my simple electronic toys.

ETA: Ah. I see at the Podiobooker blog that this is a known problem - with no known solution. (Better light another candle.)

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!
