video quality is low again and the news section is out of sync
Jason:
Is it just me or is it taking forever for the MP3 of this to download.
I’m up to 62 mb and it’s been almost 30 minutes.
I’m not on dialup….far from it.
Is there an issue with the servers?
I thought this show was very informative. James Segil’s thoughts on net neutrality and the future of the internet were very interesting. I give the show a solid 9! Thanks guys.
@Michael, mp3 downloads are a little slow for me also. I bet they just didn’t invest in a fast upload speed for the server. No big deal…
Yep, the download is also hanging for me. I’ve cancelled it and tried again, don’t know what the problem is.
Awesome episode, as usual. Jason has built up a great rhythm. The only thing: Jason’s medical advice sucks. Going around popping z-packs would kill your immune system. Doctors are told not to give a patient more than one z-pack a year, and overuse of antibiotics is well known as something that causes long-term damage to someones immune system.
ask jason with joel spolsky starts at around 15:30
BTW- why does TWiST have different times on the blog and iTunes podcasts? i can understand live versus edited poscast but not site vs podcast…
