Can't Download Podcasts

CobaltredCobaltred Registered User regular
I have been trying to download the PA podcasts for the last 3 or 4 days with no luck. The page is still there on the iTunes store but nothing will download from it. I have tried getting rid of my old subscription and resubscribing to no avail... is it just me?

I hope this is the right forum for this.

    Nope. I get the quicktime symbol then just a black bar where the quicktime controls should appear. Then the webpage finishes loading and nothing happens. Going to check if my quicktime is updated, but even if that's the problem, it appears the iTunes feed has issues.

    EDIT: Updated Quicktime. Still get the black bar, but the audio plays. I seem to have some quicktime problems on my end, but can someone else check the iTunes feed?

    Can you right click > save as the file and then open it in an external player that isn't quicktime?

    Apparently the black bar thing is an issue with 64 bit versions of windows. I set Firefox to "Vista" compatibility mode (I guess that's x86) and now the site and quicktime work perfectly thanks. Anyone else try the iTunes feed?
