Hello All,

With Autobahn for iTunes we dramatically improved download speeds through the iTunes store. The latest version of the Autobahn Accelerator makes streaming video through MySpaceTV faster and more reliable.

While MySpaceTV doesn’t require users to be logged in to view content, Autobahn will improve the streaming performance of any embedded video hosted by MySpaceTV, whether it’s on MySpace or across the web.

We have released this functionality in Beta, and you can redeem your code or put your name on the list for an invite at http://www.getautobahn.com/beta/myspace If you already have Autobahn Accelerator for iTunes downloaded, don’t worry. When you download Autobahn Accelerator for MySpaceTV you’ll get acceleration for both iTunes and MySpaceTV.

Additionally - all you MySpace users make sure to be our pal on MySpace - the Autobahn profile can be found at www.myspace.com/autobahnaccelerator

Cheers,

The Autobahn Team

Hello All,

As you saw below, Autobahn is able to get some really fast download rates, in that particular case, on Comcast.

A very cool thing that these high download speeds enables is the ability to watch the movies you buy through iTunes within a minute or two after you begin the download. Because Autobahn Accelerator for iTunes maximizes your incoming broadband, you get consistently fast download speeds, allowing playback very quickly.

As you can see in this screen shot, with iTunes’ estimate of 57 minutes of download time remaining, I could begin watching the very excellent movie “Chinatown” with only about 4% of the movie downloaded. Instead of waiting for 57 minutes to watch, I started viewing the movie in about 2 minutes. To see full image, click the thumbnail below . . .

To do this when you download a movie, purchase your movie, and after the download is initiated, click on the “Movies” button in iTunes. Pretty quickly after the download has begun, the movie info will show up and you can click on your movie and play it.

One small disclaimer : If your PC is a bit older, the video may stutter on playback. In that case, you may wish to wait until the video is completely downloaded to start watching it.

Happy downloading - and most importantly, happy viewing!

Cheers,

John
