Due to limitations on my access to high-speed server space, I have had to remove some of the older podcasts. I tried storing some on the Malchie Brother server, but the load speeds weren't quite fast enough for iTunes to grab them and add them to the music store. Oh well....If you want an older podcast, such as the pilot, please post a topic on the forums and someone will send it to you privatly. ...or until we come up with a better solution.

I have no idea D. But iTunes never picked up the one I tried adding to your server. I know its there...cuz when I try to download it, it works. Its really really slow, but it works. Again....I'm clueless.
Are you having that problem?

That should get to a file on your server....let me know if its going faster for you.

Ok. I did find something on the Apple website about moving feeds. If you don't do it right it won't pickup the new location. Here is what they have listed.

Changing Your Feed URL
Podcasters occasionally need to move their feed from one location to another. In this case, you should not remove your feed. If possible, you should set your web server to return a 301 error and redirect when receiving a request for the old feed. Doing so will cause both the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes clients that have subscribed to your podcast to pick up the new feed URL. Be sure to maintain the redirect for at least two weeks to ensure that most subscribers have attempted to download your most recent episode and have thereby received the new URL.
If you don’t know how to return an HTTP 301, you can use the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section below. The tag will cause the iTunes music store to be updated with the new feed URL, but it will not inform iTunes clients of the new location. You may choose to include an audio note in your podcast, informing your subscribers that your podcast has changed locations. After adding the tag, be sure to keep your feed running at the old URL for at least 48 hours.

Podcast Tech Specs
Also, I found a thing for the website that will allow you to post the podcasts to the site so that people can subscribe through itunes, or other podcast client, or listen to them individually directly through the website. I'll show you as soon as I get it setup. In the mean time check out that stuff up there and see if you can get one of the old episodes working.

Sounds good Deceiver...that would explain why we were having some problems. Unfortunately, I have no idea how much time I'm going to have in the next week or two to work on it. Tuesday is pretty busy for me studying for my last 2 exams of college. Wednesday I have the 2 exams, then move into my new apartment that afternoon. I'm sure it will take a few days to move all my shit. So I have no idea how long it will take for me to get back to "normal." Plus, Monday I will start my new full-time job as a college grad. So who knows what "normal" will even be for me! lol. But seriously, thats awesome, and I'll get on it as soon as I can.

technically...we aren't changing the rss feed URL. We're just chaning the link that the feed's content links to. I don't think that should have changed things. Hmmmm...ideas?

iTunes now has a duplicate podcast for the malchie brothers podcast. We'll need to fix that.
As for the website...I love the links from the main page...and as you can see from today's downloads...so do our visitors. Can we put all MB podcast as direct links from the MB website?

That duplicate is the one I was testing with. I'll remove it once I'm done.
Right now I'm testing the moving stuff to see if it will pick up a different rss URL. The timeout on the current rss is 24 hours so the itunes store should pick it up the next time it checks for an update.
As soon as I'm done I'll send you the login information so that you can add them all.
