Well ever since the 4.9 release my podcasts have been snailing their way to my machine. There really needs to be a bittorrent dimension added to this. I got the bittorrent versions in the time it normally takes to download my podcasts. But after a few hours noticing that iTunes wasn't going to get my podcasts anytime before the new year I was forced to go to bittorrent. The demand for podcasts since 4.9 has meant that those that were podding before are now suffering from slow downloads(maybe the new users think this is normal). It makes sense to add bittorrent, it makes even more sense if it's a popular show.
After the first few hundred users download a show then others can get it from them through bittorrent. Wait till your favourite podcast goes off the map after they receive their four figure bill. It also discriminates against the smaller shows who are operating on a shoe string. This issue is not going to go away.
