The Tech Guy Comes to AM 600 KOGO
The Tech Guy Comes to AM 600 KOGO
Granted it’s only on Sundays, but I’ve emailed KOGO several times requesting them pickup the show. I can hear it on AM 640 from Orange County, but 600 comes in much better at my house.
I’ve been a big fan of Leo Laporte since I started watching him when he was on ‘The Screen Savers‘. I love his podcasts on the twit network.

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.
