I wouldn't attempt downloading podcasts via a dial-up.
And partially downloaded podcasts or failed downloads are worthless and 
more often than not an indication of a problem not of Juice but the sender 
itself.
For instance, Juice has been unable to successfully download podcasts of 2 
shows I routinely capture --- Bruce Williams of the LifeStyle Radio 
Network and Investors Edge of the Business Talk Radio Network.
Out of curiosity last night, I checked the sites manually and noted that 
both podcasts, for whatever reasons, had faulty archives.
So, in a situation such as this, Juice, which is a robot of sorts, just 
keeps trying and trying (like a dutiful agent should) to get something 
which is impossible for it to grab as what it's after simply fails to 
exist.
Perhaps the error msgs might be better, but the positive point is knowing 
that you have a podcatcher which doesn't give up until it gets what's it 
is after.
This is preferable to something that tries once and then simply doesn't 
try again.

What I'm going to do is this:

(1) copy the subscription file for future use.

(2)  Remove the subscriptions which aren't currently working so the failed 
downloads don't dominate the downloads list.

(3)  In a couple of days, add in the failed subscriptions to see if things 
have changed.

Hi Brandon and list,
I haven't had your problem with juice where it downloads partial files. 
I wonder if the server is timing out, because you're on dialup? I don't know 
for sure.
When I first started using Juice, I told it where I wanted all my 
podcasts to go, that way they weren't hard to find.  As for RSS readers, I 
use sharp reader.  I don't know how well it works with Jaws, because I use 
window-eyes.  When I installed sharp reader I had to remove a file that it 
had in it's program folder to get it running correctly.  Why that was I 
don't know. Like Brandon said, if anybody knows of an all in one podcast 
catcher and rss reader that's accessible, let me know too.  Thanks.
Denny

Hi,

Well, there are times when a download will happen, and it will be complete 
because that's all the podcatcher expected to get.  those wierd things do 
hapen.

There's accessable podcatcher, but it's really designed to play podcasts in 
realtime.

Podcast Receivers

2007-03-07 Thread Brandon Hicks
Hi all,
I've got a question about podcast receivers. I've currently got the 
latest version of Juice. It's downloaded partial podcast files and 
called them complete. It also claims partial downloads that aren't 
anywhere on my computer. Is this expected behavior, the fault of my 
dial-up connection or something totally out there?
Regardless, does anyone have any suggestions for other JFW 7 friendly 
podcast receivers?
On a related, but not pc audio topic, what about RSS receivers. I saw a 
demo of the Icon recently, and the podcasts and RSS were integrated into 
one client. Is that done in any for the PC? And if so, do any of them 
work with JAWS and cash the RSS articles?

I'm relatively new to the whole thing, but I want to get started.
Thanks for any help,
Brandon
