Will not dowload more than 25% of each single Podcast
Last modified: 2009-02-19 11:20:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have installed Banshee on my Desktop and Laptop, subscribed to Podcasts on both machines and then started to download them. The downloading 1 file at **kb/s text appears and the download starts. When it reaches about 15% complete the speed drops dramatically down 1kb/s but it picks up again to normal speed for my connection, then at 25% download stops altogether and "downloading at *kb/s drops away. I restart the download and it does not remember any of what it has already downloaded and it starts it all over again only do the exact same thing. I do not have this problem with any other podcast grabber. Steps to reproduce: 1. Follow the description above. 2. 3. Actual results: What I said above. Expected results: I would expect the entire podcast would download. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Hi, a few questions: Distro? Mono Version? Could you list a few feeds that you're subscribed to? I've tried very hard to reproduce this over the last few weeks and have failed. At some point I may just have to ask someone experiencing the problem to let me login and play around with it myself or watch their session over VNC. I really appreciate the report.
Hi. Thanks for your prompt reply. My Distro is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Synaptic shows my mono version is mono-common 1.2.6+dfsg-6ubuntu3, mono-gac same version number, mono-jit same version number, mono-runtime same version number. I am currently subscribed via Banshee on "A Spoonful of Russian", "Romanian Language Lessons Podcast", and "English as a Second Language Podcast" which is commonly known as ESLpod. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me and I'll do what I can. Thanks. Michael.
How is this bug progressing? Lately I have uninstalled Banshee (the version available through the Banshee website) via Synaptic and downloaded the version from Get-Deb. The Get-Deb version needed 2 extra files to be downloaded. Started the Get-Deb Banshee, started a new download (file had not been tried before) it downloaded 60% (I thought the issue was resolved at this point) and then it stopped as it had with previous attempts. From reading through the bug reports there are quite a few having this, or a similar, problem.
Confirmed with the TED talks feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/tedtalksvideo No output whatsoever when it happens, but the temp file in ~/.config/banshee-1/downloads/ seems to be cleaned up nicely. Needs investigation.
