Evil Genius confirms iTunes 4.9
Dave Slusher, podcaster extraordinaire of Evil Genius Chronicles fame, confirms yesterday's reports of iTunes 4.9 user agent strings with Cupertino IPs showing up in podcast feeds. It seems the kinks aren't completely worked out, though: iTunes seems to be choking on his podcast torrent feed, and the Apple testers aren't finding his direct mp3 feed.For the moment it's their loss, but hopefully Apple will figure out a way to handle torrents in the final version or someone else will very quickly develop an iTunes plugin to support them. With podcasting on the rise and bandwidth in ever-dimishing (and ever more costly for bloggers) supply, torrent feeds are only going to become more popular.

That's why they haven't released it yet.

You seem awfully confident that someone would write a plugin, but I can't say I've been overwhelmed by the quantity and frequent releases of iTunes plugins hitting the scene...
