I've been unable to log into the iTunes store for the past couple of weeks.

Strange thing is I'm able to log in at work (where I connect via the work proxy server).

Both places connect via Streamyx.

We're not talking bout slow download speeds here. We're talking about the INABILITY to access the iTunes store.

In any case, podcast downloads are dependent principally on the origin of the podcast NOT the Apple iTunes store. I could previously download purchased content (and iTunes store freebies) at speeds exceeding 150k/sec on Streamyx. An episode of Lost for example comes down in under 20 mins.

I access the ITMS via my MacPro at home. I guess I could configure my XP machine with a proxy instead but what a pain.... Plus the entire music/video experience is SO much better on OSX....

With regards to download speeds via a proxy at work: The MWSF podcast (1.2Gb) is estimated to take 55hrs to complete. Sheesh.....

Hope this stays.....
