This same behavior has been happening to me since before iOS 6 came out. I can show the same "206 storm" happening as far back as August of last year with iOS

  I used to work at http://castfire.com/ http://castfire.com/, and we've seen that similar issue from a LOT of iOS clients. Stats become increasingly difficult, because we saw one unique request bounce with upwards of 50+ 206s for similar / overlapping media... and then it bounced through a cell provider, to a WiFi network, and back, etc. (we identified by redirecting all requests through a complex process of assigning an ID to them) Hoping this is fixed. Podcast metrics are tricky, and this has been exacerbating the issue.

  The playback stuff definitely makes use of many range requests, but what we found was that they were being used in a way that vaguely made sense in other versions (i.e. downloading a few hundred kb to continue buffering, pausing the download, and picking up again). With 6.0.0, we're seeing actual storms of these requests happening many times per second.
