Thought I'd start this thread because there are 140 PDFs sitting in my "downloads" area of my iTunes just taunting me with "stopped (err = 404)" !  These are DA and QW pdfs which I would LOVE to have, but, oh the cruelty! They just sit there glaring and tempting me no matter how many times I click "Resume All." Help!

I don't think there are PDFs for Dear Amber and Qing Wen.  At one point I remember seeing links for them on the lesson page but they led to nowhere (error: 404 file not found).  So I think they appeared in your feed as an error.  A PDF for each Qing Wen episode would be great though.

For me, it isn't PDF files that iTunes seems to think I can't download but a couple of hundred mp3 lesson reviews from lessons posted around mid 2006 and before. When I checked the website, all those lessons have a 0mb mp3 lesson review listed as being available.

I don't think the lesson reviews started until sometime later. At first, I wondered if the busy people at Chinesepod were doing an enormous amount of work providing reviews for all past lessons. Now, I think it may be a glitch in the website programming.

I still have those PDFs sitting there; still 147 of them. Yikes! They are for traditional DA, QW, MM and even News and Features. Allanhall, I also have a few lesson review mp3s. If there aren't supposed to be any of these Extras shows pdfs, I'd love to not keep reloading them everytime I hit "resume." There isn't a choice to de-select them in the personal feed "settings" area.

Doc,

Have your tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing in iTunes?  Check your feed settings to make sure your personal feed URL has not changed.
