Geek News Central Revealing Links & Useful Technical Information

July 1, 2005 | Audioblogs and Podcasting | By: Mark VandeWettering

Todd over at Geek News Central notes that the iTunes 4.9 release with podcasting is blasting him with traffic:

I just checked my latest Libsyn Stats and downloads are through the roof. I am getting reports that sites like Dawn and Drew are down, servers have melted all over the podcasting sphere. Thus far this site which is hosted on a GoDaddy server has kept up and we have seen over 300,000 individual hits to this site alone today.

I know that at least 6500 people on iTunes have downloaded the newest show so this is significant traffic. Be patient with the downloads as servers are getting hammered worldwide.

I’ve been hammered too. 17 people used iTunes to download brainwagon radio in the last 24 hours! Woohoo! Let the pidgeons loose!
