The rationale, as Apple states in the documentation for podcast providers, is to “minimize unnecessary bandwidth costs for both the user and the podcaster,” as well as making it more likely that episode downloads align with the actual plays of the episode. But I like the option of being current on all my podcasts, as well as being selective about which episode(s) I want to listen to. And being the rebel that I am — using a two button mouse in 2001 while everyone else was still control-clicking — this means that I will sometimes not listen to a podcast within these set parameters.

From the Apple Matters article on SSH tunnels for the common man : “SSH is a network protocol that provides secure communication between two computers.” Its power comes from the ability to create an encrypted tunnel through which a client can send many types of internet traffic. The Lifehacker article on setting up an SSH server covers the steps necessary to roll your own SSH server whether you are running Windows or OS X. Parts one and two of the Apple Matters series on SSH tunnels provide a lot of useful information on SSH as well as creating an SSH tunnel for encrypting traffic. One such use that has not yet been covered is how it is possible to stream your iTunes library across the internet while using software that is either built-in or available for free.
