How to RESUME a podcast download?

When podcast downloads stop for some reason, there is the option to RESUME the download. But in my case (am I the only one?) nothing resumes: the download restarts from zero. Why?
In my case that is very frustrating. I live in Indonesia and have a very low download speed: it can take 9 or 10 hours to download a video podcast of 20 minutes. I can still live with that. But what makes it frustrating: if there is a short power blackout or internet disconnection (they happen often!) I must restart my download from the beginning. Sometimes 10 attempts are necessary.
Also the PAUSE button in my iTUNES has a problem: it does not pause/interrupt the download, but stops it and I must start from the beginning again.
Any solution or alternative?
I am subscribed to 3 daily video news downloads, so would prefer a solution that still can handle automatic downloads...
Thanks

I also did a little digging and many others are having the same problem and this has been a problem for a long time. It seems to only occur when downloading Podcasts or iTunesU files, while the Apple Store seems to pause and resume correctly. Here's some links of those who have the same problem, but there are no solutions from within iTunes.

How do I stop podcasts downloading across multiple devices

How do I stop podcasts subscribed to on one device (an Imac) from automatically downloading on another device (a Macbook) which uses the same appli id?

Go to iTunes > Preferences > Store and Uncheck the option to Sync podcast subscriptions, settings and stations, then set up each machine as you want it.

How many times is podcast downloaded?

My organization, a chorus, publishes a weekly podcast of our recorded rehearsals. We want to know how many times each podcast is downloaded. Does iTunes have any tools that will tell us how often a single podcast is downloaded through iTunes? I don't see anything about this in the support.

iTunes does not provide this information. If your media files are hosted on a server which provides PHP (MobileMe does not) then there is a method described here.

*** How to resume movie rental download?

I started to download a movie and then had to quit iTunes and restart my Mac. When I opened iTunes it wasn't there so I searched for it and the message said "you've already rented this, do you want to rent it again?". I was only about 75mb into a 1.06-ish gb download so that's not possible.
How do I resume this download without paying to rent the movie again?
Thanks in advance!

Try the iTunes "Store" menu -> Check for available downloads.
If it still won't download, go here and fill out the form explaining your problem. Include as much information as possible,

How can I remove Podcasts downloaded directly into the I-Phone from the phone and I Tunes, right now every time I sync the two old podcasts keep coming back

I have downloaded 2 podcasts directly to my iPhone over WIFI, the problem is that I cannot get rid of these two podcasts. Every time I sync with my computer these two old podcasts keep coming back. Is there a way to erase them from the phone?

I had this issue with my iPhone - drove me nuts. Tried everything.
It appears to be an issue with a persistent file in the Purchases folder in the iPhone/iPad directory, which I could only access with a file browsing utility (iBrowse). Once installed you can browse to the Purchases folder and delete all the entries.
Check the box in iTunes to Manually Manage Music and then delete the grey U2 tracks.
Sync and they'll be gone
Fixed!

How to prevent video podcast downloads

Hi, I have a first generation iPod nano and so can't play video. Some of the podcasts I subscribe to sometimes have a video download instead of audio. Is there any way to prevent iTunes from downloading these video podcasts?
Many thanks!

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

ITunes 11 Podcasts downloading problem

I subscribe severall podcasts. There's one of them, I don't know why, at the office downloads very slowly. To get it to download quickly, I am always pausing and resming the download.
In iTunes 11 when I pause when resuming the status bar comes a little bit back (eg. when pause there's 660 kb's downloaded, when resuming it goes to 500 Kb's)!
The other strange thing is that it dowloads more than the size of the podcast file!
When listening This, it is always coming back and forward.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Please try to pause and resume a podcast download an see what happens.
Thanks,
Jorge

Similar problem with iTunes 11.0.1.12 on win7. The crash seems to occur during the "file processing" part of downloading. I've tried removing the download file from the iTunes folder - it doesn't help. Really frustrating problem. It doesn't generate any error message beyond itunes need to stop and searching for a solution (the "solution" to update iTunes is the PROBLEM - not a solution).
I've installed VLC to play the files but it isn't iTunes and it won't sync with my ipod so... Apple people - - can't you do some simple software??? Do you really have to head towards bankruptcy again????
Geesh the Google maps flap was bad enough!

How to save my podcasts on iPod after wiping drive and re-installing iTunes

I wiped my computer and re-installed iTunes. I have a ton of podcasts on my iPod, however, and I don't know how to sync new podcast downloads while saving the podcasts currently on the iPod. If there's no "built-in" way to do this with iTunes, is there anything else that I can try?

Bump.

How to measure the exact count of your podcast downloads

Hi,
While their are many ways to measure podcast preformance (e.g. Feedburner account and reviewing server logs), the only way to know accurately how many episodes being downloaded is to measure the daily bandwidth consumption of your MP3 or MP4 folder.
Look for the section titled "Average data transferred per day" within the your ISP server logs control panel, and divide that number by the average size of your episodes to determine your download count.
If you don't want to estimate your episode lengths, do like I do and standardize your podcasts to 1.5, 5.00, 10.00, 15.00, and 20.00 minutes long.
The above is an overview; for the details just ask.

Hi Mike,
I never said my technique would state how many listeners one has. This technique is for knowing how many episodes are being downloaded.
Using Analog WWW logfile analysis, I set up the "File Size Report" section to subdivide download requests into size categories that correlate to my episode sizes (e.g. 10MBs). From there it's simply a matter of looking at the server requests for each category to the know how many downloads I had during any twenty-four hour period.
Btw: I verify results by comparing total episode throughput with "Average data transferred per day."

How to resume downloads?

How can I resume my downloads after they have been disrupted? I was recently downloading iMovie and the download was disrupted, as a result I was unable to resume the download and I may have wasted my money. Could someone tell me how I can resolve this problem?

You will find iMovie listed on your Purchases page in the App Store. You can re-start the download there. No extra charges.

How can I cancel a stalled podcast download within the iPad?

When downloading a podcast from iTunes to the iPad the download stalled. Now when I go to the iTunes store I have a notification icon on the download button indicating that there is a download waiting. However, the podcast is no longer available and I get an error when I try to download it. How do I cancel the download and clear the notification?

Try this.
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
 Cheers, Tom

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
also the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
Good luck.

How do I change the podcast download time?

How do I change the podcast download time in Windows XP? It looks like the default is set to 6:57 p.m. Pacific time. I don't see anything about this in the preferences -- just whether or not I want it to download daily, weekly, never, et cetera.
Thanks in advance
