I just made a program and it worked perfectly on my favorite podcast - This Week inTech.
Normally, when you download the latest episode of a podcast from iTunes, etc. - everyone will be downloading from one location. With this program your RSS feed will rotate the acutal download location from as many mirror locations as you would like. I have tested it in iTunes and Blogmatrix Sparks and it worked perfectly.
Try it yourself. This is a demo with 4 mirror locations of the popular TWiT podcast.
Currently it only works with the newest episode, Episode 20... so it won't work on the other episodes of this podcast.
Try subscribing in iTunes or whatever software you use. I'd be curious if it works with any other podcast applications..
Podcast Feed URL:
http://www.atomicscripts.com/twit.xml
With this feed the bandwidth is distributed among all mirror locations. If you could find enough places to host each feed, you might be able to significantly reduce your bandwidth bill or have no bandwidth bill at all.
If you would like more info on this program, have any questions or suggestions email me at manateemedia@gmail.com , pm me, etc.
Enjoy!
