      Reglar garden gnomes boring. Have a Garden Gnome decoration/painting contest instead.

      It’ll be just like painting Really Big Minatures.

      Is anyone else having trouble downloading this. iTunes has been trying for days and it gets to about 80% then restarts from scratch again. If this is happening for other people then their bandwidth will skyrocket.

      I tried downloading it directly from here and the same thing happens.

      NOt having any trouble with any other podcast just this one.

      Podango really need to allow for downloads to resume. I made it to 95% just before and it crapped out. Since I have tried to download it about 15 more times and it still fails anywhere between %5 and %70.

      Pretty much over 90% of podcast providers allow for resumption of downloads. They are either doing this on purpose to inflate their download rate numbers or they don’t know how to setup a server. Resumption of downloads has been pretty much standard for many many years.

      I am aware this post will probably be censored but at least pass it on to someone that can fix this issue.
