iTunes - video podcast downloading stupidity
OK so I like to download Meet the Press and other video podcasts. If the download is 90% done and craps out, it restarts at THE BEGINNING! What the hell Apple? Also...why can't I start watching it when it's partially done? If it's halfway done, why can't I start watching the first half? These are serious annoyances. I was hoping the udpates would fix them. Shall I write in about these?

I don't know if podcasts require certain features on the server end for resuming files though so maybe it's an issues with the server the podcast is on. Are they hosted by Apple or P2P?
As for playing partial mp4, the format is required to be complete before it will play. Quicktime doesn't like partial files at all. Even VLC reports broken AVIs now.
