from a newer bug:
to repro:

1. start up iPodder (i'm using 1.1.4)
2. add a feed
to "http://demo.theplatform.com/RSS/redirect.xml"
3. check the feed, and then look at the log

observed:

Checking http://demo.theplatform.com/RSS/redirect.xml
1 enclosure(s) found
Pass #2: downloading enclosures...
Downloading
http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?
pid=Lexni2kEBzmfbAcyk8G9wwEnRCLhaShV&UserName=iP
odder
'No such file or directory' (probably caused by an
enclosure target lacking the http:// part of the URL)
downloading
http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?
pid=Lexni2kEBzmfbAcyk8G9wwEnRCLhaShV&UserName=iP
odder

in this RSS feed, the enclosure looks like this:

<enclosure
url="http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?
pid=Lexni2kEBzmfbAcyk8G9wwEnRCLhaShV&UserNam
e=iPodder" length="35321318" type="video/x-ms-asf" />

this is a 302 redirect to the actual content. it seems
that iPodder 1.1.4 can't handle this.

if instead you link
to "http://demo.theplatform.com/RSS/noredirect.xml",
where the enclosure looks like this:

<enclosure
url="http://download.theplatform.regionalna.speedera.net
/download.theplatform.regionalna/thePlatform/Inkola/26/
662/wiggleontheflo.wma" length="35321318"
type="video/x-ms-asf" />

then iPodder handles it fine.

it's often not an option to change the feed to use direct
links. redirect links are often required for tracking
access, and they're useful when you want to give an
absolute link that will work even if you change your
actual file structures.
