I paid for BeyondPod but whatever, it was Google Funbucks thanks to Google Opinion Rewards. Just bought Pocket Casts with my fun money too so I'll start transitioning over.
I posted on their forums and a developer responded - http://www.beyondpod.com/forum/showthread.php?3584-Giant-Bomb-blocking-BeyondPod-due-to-malicious-traffic
We are not sure what is the issue with this. Nothing has changed on our side to suddenly be causing any "malicious" traffic to their servers.
The only traffic we generate is from people that have subscribed to the feed itself.
I sent an e-mail to Gian't Bomb's support to see if they can explain what may be going on.
Specific Problem: Cannot watch videos due to buffering problems. Attempting to download them results in sub-300kb/s speeds. Need to pause and reload the entire page to make it through a video as pausing and playing does nothing.
Just to note, I've almost been able to watch all of the Pikmin 3 QL. I've needed to pause and refresh a couple of times, but by god, it's nearly finished.
I've tried that also. I typically can't get more than 200kb/s when downloading videos, which explains why I can't stream them either. I have a 10Mbit connection that isn't being utilized by the CDN Giant Bomb is now using.
This entire year I have not been able to watch a single video. I'm a subscriber and unless I catch what you guys are streaming on Twitch, I might as well just write off the content. Videos never play more than a few seconds without stopping and stuttering. Pausing and trying to replay does nothing and I have to refresh the page to get the video to play again.
I love your content. I want to watch your videos. What can I do to fix this?
I wrote Jeff about them on his Tumblr and sent him a picture. I ended up buying all four and drinking them. They're all kind of standard creme sodas, though the vanilla one is certainly the worst.
