G+_Dave Coleman II Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Anyone else getting a truncated audio download for Twit 417 (today's ep)? Mine stops at 37:43. Have erased and redownloaded multiple times, and even played it directly from the TWIT site via browser, and all are truncated. Hope this clears up soon. Even if it does, I won't have time to redownload tomorrow morning before I head off to work. Going to have to listen to some other podcast. Sigh. #firstworldprobs Loved the first 37 minutes. Can't wait to hear the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Fogle Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Just downloaded using Pocket Casts and the whole thing downloaded fine - all 1:57:58 of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Bonner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Cool. Going to try again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Bonner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hmmm. Still fails for me, via my podcatcher and via the twit website (after deletes, reloads, etc). The video version is fine, but audio version is truncated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Bonner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I wonder if pocket casts is accessing a different feed source, one that got updated more quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Roger Nash Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Same here via the RSS audio feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Bonner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 So at least I'm not imagining it. :) Anyone know a mirror, torrent or other alternative to get the audio for episode 417 tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Derrick Cope Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 yes, it is only 18mb. You can download from dvorak.com but it is 510mb there which must be wrong unless twit was 6hrs long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Scott Bonner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks Derrick Cope , but the download on that page leads to the mp4 (video) version. That's why it's so large. Also, won't work on my mp3 player. Thanks, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Fogle Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 This link leads to a 54.7 MB audio version, which seems to be the same one Pocket Casts links to - http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/aolradio.podcast.aol.com/twit/twit0417.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Derrick Cope Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 John C. Dvorak posted the video, that is why it's 510mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Bonner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 When I clicked the link, it redirected to the aolpodcasts site and delivered the same 37 minute version that I get from clicking on the download link on the twit website. Dowload gets a 17.5mb file that lasts 37 minutes. I don't understand why you get one result and I get another from the same link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Same problem here and it hasn't posted on YouTube yet. Haven't tried the mp4 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vince Donald Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I use Pocket Casts and it delivered the truncated 37 minute version - curiouser and curiouser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 OK this video works. http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp4/twit.cachefly.net/video/twit/twit0417/twit0417_h264b_640x368_256.mp4 I got it from this feed: http://feeds.twit.tv/twit_video_small and it's about 270MB?

G+_James McCarty Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Greg Dorsainville I know exactly how you feel. It really throws you off when this happens doesn't it.

G+_Alex Hellstrom Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Same thing happened with the version I downloaded from iTunes this morning. Fortunately I was able to listen to the rest of it directly from the Twit site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_John Tocher Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Same problem. I've since extracted the audio from the MP4 video, and now have a complete 54 MB, 1:57 duration mp3 file. I'd be happy to upload it and link here if that won't ruffle any feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
