Buzz Out Loud - “Download Error - File size exceeds download limit”
One of my favorite podcasts is Buzz Out Loud from CNET. I love podcasts and use the RSS functionality of Internet Explorer 7 to subscribe to the RSS feed. I also use it to download podcasts. I have about 20 Audio or Video podcasts that I listen to or watch. They all get downloaded automatically with IE7. I realize that most people will probably think, you use IE7? I really like IE7, I’m not a ‘Microsoft Fanboy’, I just think that IE 7 is a good product.
Anyway my whole reason for this post is that Buzz Out Loud does not download for me using the RSS feed reader in IE7. It tells me, “Download Error - File size exceeds download limit”. I’m not sure why. Several of the video podcasts I watch are over 100 megabytes in size. The Buzz Out Loud podcast is usually only about 25 megabytes in size. I’m wondering if it has something to do with how their feed is hosted? If I right click on that same link for the .MP3, and save it to my hard drive, it downloads just fine.
If you click the picture below it will take you to the full screen grab so you can see the error.
This isn’t a rant, just a, hmm I really wish this worked post.
I’m going to send an email to buzz@cnet.com and see what they say.

IE 7 final for Windows XP and Server 2003 Released
Yesterday Microsoft released the final release version of Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP x86, x64 and Windows Server 2003 x86, iax64, x64.
You can download it at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx
More information can be found at:

Overall I’ve been very please with IE7. I’ve been using IE7 since the first Beta release.
To read more info that I’ve put together on IE7 go here: http://blog.team-studer.com/jon/?cat=3
There are some things that you need to be aware of a few things. If you are using any additional toolbars or plug-ins to IE such as Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com), You will need to update them to the latest version. I have also noticed that Java Run-time (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)Â may also need to be updated.
Keep in mind that you CAN un-install from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel if you decide you don’t want it.

IE 7 Release Candidate 1 Released
This morning Microsoft released the first public release candidate, IE7 RC1, for Windows XP. You can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/ie.
Along with some bug fixes there are 2 cool changes:
1. IE7 RC1 setup automatically detects and uninstalls previous IE7 betas before trying to install IE7 so you don’t have to. Previously you would have to perform the un-install yourself, reboot, then install, and reboot again.
2. IE7 RC1 will automatically detect add-ons with known stability or compatibility problems so that end users can easily get a newer version or temporarily turn the add-on off. The most common cause of the “IE7 installed but won’t run†problem reports were related to old versions of some toolbars. Microsoft has worked closely with toolbar vendors to make this experience better.

Internet Explorer 7
IE7 boasts many new features which I love.
Tabbed-Browsing - For users of Firefox and other open-source browsers, this is nothing new. However, to those who need the functions of IE it opens up a whole new world.
Advanced Printing - Automatically scales a printed webpage so that it’s not wider than the paper it will be printed on. Internet Explorer 7 also includes a multi-page print preview with live margins, resizing text to avoid document clipping, and an option to print only selected text.
RSS Feeds - Automatically detects RSS feeds on sites by illuminating an icon on the toolbar. A single click on the icon allows you to preview and optionally subscribe to the site’s RSS feed, and then be automatically notified as content is updated. Read RSS feeds directly in the browser, scan for important stories, and filter your view with search terms or site-specific categories.
Page Zoom - Enlarge individual webpages, including both text and graphics, to either focus on specific content or to make content more accessible to those with vision limitations.
