I just added a new podcast to my site, updated my xml file, and tested it with Ipodder. Ipodder is only downloading a 1k fragment of the file. I've verified that the file is complete on the server, tried Ipodder again, and still get the same result. I tried it with a different podcast client, and got the whole thing just fine.

I'd appreciate it if someone would give it a shot and let me know if it works for them. The URL for the feed is http://www.davehitt.com/podcasts/quickhitts.xml The file in question is the latest one, "social security.mp3"

Thanks in advance for any help.

I confirm that iPodder only downloaded 374 bytes. I also confirm that there were no errors recorded in the iPodder log for the download.

I downloaded the entire file via Foxfire and played it successfully.

PS:
You should report this problem on the iPodder Support Forum.

Developers love solid test cases.

Thanks for checking it out. I'm off to Ipodder to tell them about it.

They suggested taking the space out of the file names, replacing them with underlines. I didn't think that was the problem, because it downloaded other files with spaces in the names, including my own, but I changed them all anyway.

It didn't work. Ipodder still downloads at 512k piece and then quits.

Same result here. File size 524,288.

Which other clients did you try?
