Temporary download problems
The host of many of our podcasts experienced a temporary ‘hiccup’ which hampered downloading of these shows. Here’s what Libsyn writes:
DNS Misconfiguration
At about 2:30 EST on Thursday, Aug 23, there was a momentary DNS misconfiguration that caused some users to be unable to view the site, or in fact, resolve anything under the libsyn.com domain. The situation was recognized and resolved immediately, but due to the nature of the DNS system, some users have cached the incorrect data, either on their computer, or on the ISP DNS servers. As with everything DNS related, the caches will time out, and the correct data will be received, and we’ve been told the maximum time this will take is 24 hours. (It’s usually much shorter, however) In the meantime, a potential remedy for end users is a reboot of their computer to hopefully flush that local cache.
We apologize for any downtime.

Another update from Libsyn (THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE!):
Update on DNS issues
I understand that you may not be getting this message, or if you are there’s a chance some of your audience is still not getting your podcasts. We will post this around to as many of the boards as we can to keep people informed of the status.
We are seeing an upturn in the MRTG usage graphs which indicates a good portion of the name servers have updated and are now resolving correctly for libsyn.com domains. It is hard for us to give a blanket ETA as right now it’s totally dependent on local ISP’s and even home computer DNS caches. It is tremendously frustrating to know what the problem is but have no way to improve the situation.
Aug 25 and I still can not receive any podcasts hosted by Libsyn.
You may want to look into Hipcast if the Libsyn situation isn’t corrected soon: http://www.hipcast.com
Sorry to tell you, but I still can’t download any episodes of the daily breakfast.
I hope that you will be able to solve this “problem” quickly.
Keep up the good work and hope to hear your great potcasts soon again.
If you still can’t download after trying a soft reboot (restart), try shutting your computer all the way off, then turning it back on. This should definitely clear out the local cache.
Sorry, I have not been able to download the last 5 Dailu Nreakfasts and am having withdrawal symptoms. I’ve turned it off, back on but nothing is happening-even Saintcast is a problem. It has been more than 48 hours, surely!
Ev Father Roderick, Dt Paul where are you??????
To follow up on Jeff’s suggestion - I shut my computer all the way down and it still didn’t work. BUT when I shut down the main computer hooked up to our wireless router, AND shut down my laptop, AND shut down the modem/router itself, I was finally able to access and download all the SQPN shows. FINALLY.
Hieper de piep HOERA !!
YES, i’m connected again to the great podcasts of the daily breakfast. I’m downloading as we speek (computers can do that??)
