Description Michael R Head 2007-12-14 17:11:28 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I am subscribed to http://rss.cnn.com/services/podcasting/raceto08/rss, and the podcasts are mp3s, so r-b should be able to download them, however, it always says "Failed" in the Status column when I attempt to get episodes.

It may be due to multiple HTTP redirects. Here's a trace from wget:

I'm seeing a similar issue with 0.11.5 on ubuntu breezy badger.  Here's another wget log for the CBS 60 Minutes podcast, which also has 2 redirects (a 301 and a 302):

This feed works properly now after the gio port.
