A good portion of the time when a new video podcast is released (for example, today was diggnation and MacBreak), I had to download diggnation 3 or 4 times before I got a complete file that worked. I still havent macbreak to download properly yet, it will download what appears to be the full file (a few hundred megs), but then it wont play in itunes (but it will play in QT). Maybe it has nothing to do with itunes, but was curious if anyone else had this problem.
 
Something like this happened recently with a TWIT podcast. An incomplete podcast was pushed out to the akamai servers they were using, which cached it. Anyone accessing one of those servers (myself included) would get only 23 minutes of the 70 minute podcast. This had to be fixed by the TWITter himself (Leo LaPorte).
