Brendan,
Perhaps it's the RSS feeds for the podcasts? They are the only bit of
bbc.co.uk that are slow in my experience.

That's interesting, does anyone else find bbc.co.uk to be any slower than
other sites? I can't imagine why anyone in Durham (where this commenter said
they lived) would have a particularly bad experience with bbc.co.uk, even
JANET users should have fairly good bandwidth links and our servers
certainly aren't running at capacity on a normal day...
While I know there's a lot we could do to speed up the experience of
bbc.co.uk users, we certainly don't think we're slower than the average
site.
What does everyone else think?
Brendan.
PS I'm not going to comment on the Glasgow Herald article!

[A] truly odd comment...
hi
this seems like a great initative! Online and flexible is the way forward.
However I hope that BBC does NOT give up on fixing the bugs in its system.
It is the SLOWEST website i have ever used. plus the downlaod doesnt work
for me and there doesnt seem any way of getting support from the bbc to fix
this. I really hope they read this!
