iTunes 8006 errors- completely mystifying

Any help I could get with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Last week, iTunes started returning 8006 errors intermittently with our podcast Imperial Trouble. Sometimes people can download it, sometimes they can't It's the back and forth that's so frustrating, if it was a consistent problem that would be one thing, but there's no way to really know if the problem has resolved itself without constantly checking. As of today, the problem was still happening. What truly baffles me is that we changed nothing with our feed or how we send the feed to iTunes. It literally worked fine for close to a year and suddenly started having issues. Here's a link to the feed that goes to iTunes:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/ImperialTrouble

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I have exhausted all the options I can think of to resolve this problem (checking Wordpress plugins, resyncing feeds, checking the feed against feed validators)

thanks,

Jason Mallory

Hmmm. It is pretty unlikely, but worth a shot. This morning I was able to download and subscribe with no issues. I created a new version of the most recent episode and uploaded to the server. I'm going to try different machines and see if I can get the problem to happen again- if it does, I'll point the feed at the new file.

Nope. Still broken. Okay, I just pointed the feed at the new file and resynced the feed in Feedburner. I'm going to give iTunes some time and see if it works.
