A catch phrase will go here soon.

Why does iTunes only download three podcasts at a time? Why isn't iTunes P2P?

Am I missing something or shouldn’t I be able to set the number of simultaneous downloads on iTunes? Three is fine if you’re downloading a couple of podcasts a day, but I have like 50 podcasts I’m subscribed to and sometimes I have to download like 20-30 things.

Also, shouldn’t iTunes build in some P2P software from Red Swoosh and let you download podcats from peers!? That would make the system so much faster–right?!

NOTE: I’m talking about SIMULTANEOUS downloads–as in the number of concurrent downloads–not the number of queued downloads.

    Hey Jason,

    Just a pleasant note from September, 2009. Apple still hasn’t fixed this and probably never will. Being worth 100 billion does not suit Apple. It has made them a lazy, lazy company.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
