This is exactly what I saw with the Podcast app last week. Used up 2GB in about 6 hours and put me into overage. I bet the class action lawyers are already circling.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Does 6.0.1 fix it?
From the fine article: "We have been unable to reproduce the issue using iOS 5 or using iOS 6.0.1". So the problem's already been fixed as far as they can tell.
True. The problem is that we are seeing > 20% of users still on iOS 6.0.0, and still chewing up bandwidth. Upgrade, please upgrade.

#13Now that explains the sudden spurt in my 3G data usage in the last 3 weeks. This forced me to switch off my 3G :(. Hope Apple releases a fix soon
We (PRX) haven't seen any evidence to show that it is still an issue in iOS 6.0.1, so you should be all set if you've upgraded, or an upgrade should fix it. If you are upgrade already and seeing overuse, please comment.

#14Is it just me or are apple making more dumb mistakes lately? There's this and that ajax caching issue from a month or two ago. Perhaps I'm just having selective memory?
I've had the exact same feeling. It seems like their quality control has gotten worse over the last year or so.

#15Our very small outfit at verbmill.net is seeing similar signs. For instance, 700MB+ downloaded by a single client when an individual podcast is a maximum of ~50MB. Checking my logs now to see if I can narrow down device/version number. All of our files are hosted on S3.

Ominous example.

#17Same here, noticed a huge spike in bandwidth for my startup's shows hosted on CloudFront. 206 responses are flooding my logs and I moved everything off of CloudFront for my users to triage the cost. This breakdown explains it all: http://cl.ly/image/2H3u3u2O333g
Talk about a pain, not to mention the 10x bill from Amazon that came as a surprise.

#18Wonder if the CDNs don't have any safeguards in place to avoid single client downloading same resource multiple times?

Exactly - we see this causing a crazy number of 206 calls.

#20Hmmm, I had to turn off the LTE on my iPad two days ago because I hit my limit 10 days prior to my monthly renewal. I upgraded to 6.0.1 last week, but I wonder if this bug explains how I managed to chew through my data plan faster than ever before.
