21 rizwank 1.8 <h3>I’ve been asked by This American Life to take down my MP3s. I’m 22 going to comply with their requests. I was asked nicely, and more importantly,
23 rizwank 1.9 they are in the right anyhow. ;p <p></h3>
24 rizwank 1.3 <div class="intro"> As promised, I've put together a "This American Life" 25 MP3 archive, as well as a podcast of the most recent episodes. <br> 26 <br> 27 The episode downloads are restricted to three per day --- I don't mind folks 28 with wget fetching them all, but it was just too much of a bandwidth drain.<br> 29 <br> 30 I hope not to have to limit the podcast downloads --- at the moment they're 31 not, and 250g of traffic isn't _easily_ eaten up. <br> 32 <br> 33 A few points:<br><ul><li>Yes, the RSS feed works fine in iTunes. PLEASE don't submit it to Apple as a list that you'd like to see on their service. I can't afford the traffic or attention.</li> 34 <li>The podcast will be updated regularly with new episodes, but if I haven't fetched it yet, its cause I haven't gotten around to it yet. If I'm a week behind (as in the Real file was made available a week before, then feel free to email me.</li> 35 <li>I'm not accepting donations. At all. WBEZ Chicago deserves the cash - they make content, I simply re-encode it.</li> 36 <li>If you're not a starving student, or someone who makes less than ... say ... $30,000 a year, get off this site. Subscribe to the <a href="http://www.audible.com/talf">Audible</a> downloadable version. Its not [too] expensive, its updated often, and is legal. You can afford it.</li>
37 rizwank 1.4 <li>Somehow poor, but still wanting to give me money? Go <a href="https://secure2.convio.net/wbez/site/Donation?ACTION=SHOW_DONATION_OPTIO%20NS&CAMPAIGN_ID=1841">here</a> and donate.</li>
38 rizwank 1.3 <li>More amazing to me is that apparently, TALs are made available through the iTunes Music Store! $3.95 isn't fair, IMHO, but thats not for me to decide. You can buy it from there too.</li> 39 <li>This site is still up by the good graces (or lack of awareness) of the folks that make the show. They ask, it goes down.</li> 40 <li>How to rip/encode these shows on your own? I'll have a guide up later, but for those looking to learn something : <a href="http://www.google.com/search?rls=en&q=streambox+ripper&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8">Google it</a></li></ul> 41 <br> 42 <br>
43 rizwank 1.7 So, the archives. They are sorted by year.... Maximum 4 downloads a day for every year except 2005, which is capped at 10.<ul>
