    Perhaps its just my install, or could be these rss feeds have changed, but I've upgraded to 0.6.15-1 from the 0.6.9 and get the same error with this rss feed. I'm using ArchLinux.

    Can anyone else confirm or check if the feed works for them ?

    OK, the problem appears to be that this "feed" does not use the enclosure tag. It appears to be designed to be used in a web browser. The feed provides links to HTML pages that then give a short synopsis of the show in question and provide a link that looks like:

    <a class="wsite-button wsite-button-small wsite-button-normal" href="/uploads/7/1/4/8/7148904/ti__kev.mp3" >

    This link is then presented to the user as a button that says "Click Here to Listen/Download".

    This same link/button can be seen on a feed page if you look at the source HTML, however, it is hidden from the USER by the browser's habit of reducing each description to a few lines.

    I will have to consider if there is any way to modify Podget to work with these links but that could make it necessary to evaluate every <a > block in a feed and that might be prohibitively slow. Then again computers have tons of extra processing ability and so it might be doable.
