I can't even start the program! To be totaly honest
this has to be the most buggy program I have ever
tried. Non, yes non, of the betas nor V1.1 of ipodder
has even started up. I have been forced to used
jPodder. Please resolve this and let me atleast try out
Lemon!

The early versions crashed when they encountered feeds with
non-ascii characters in the title.
Please try the latest 2.0 release candidate, RC3.

Nope. Same thing sadly.. I think it's the same error, but I
added it either way. But I haven't started up the program,
so I couldn't have added a feed with non- or
asci-characters.. Has to be one of the pre-loaded feeds..? No?

Tried the final 2.0 release with the exact same result. I
tried deleting the test feed in favorites.txt but that
didn't do anything. This has been happening to me every time
I try to start ipodder from version 1.0 which was the first
version I tried.
I have NEVER succedded in starting up an ipodder lemon client!

Can you try moving aside both favorites.txt and iPodder.db?
That should give you a fresh start.
If you can post answers to these questions, it will help us fix
the bug:
1. What is the full path to your download directory?
2. Have you changed the language setting from the default
(English), and if so, to what?

As I have stated before, I have never sucessfully started up
the program into the gui.. So everything is default.
I use English Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 with
location etc set to Sweden and swedish and my keyboard is
also Swedish. Those the only things I could think of causing
this?
As this apprears to be a language issue? No?

Yes, I do think it's a language issue. I think iPodder is
erroring out when it tries to display the path to your
downloads directory. By default this is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\My
Documents\My Received Podcasts
where Your Username is your Windows username. I suspect
that one of these path components has non-ascii characters,
and for some reason this is causing the problem (though I'm
not sure why).
Can you try editing ipodder.cfg in Notepad and setting your
download directory to something like C:\Podcasts ?

Also, I'd create the new downloads folder before running
iPodder, to be on the safe side.
