Hi Folks.
 
Amarok says it cant connect to 'some' of my fave podcasts. pretty sure i know _why_
it seems some podcasters use redirects and /or scripts that shoot Amarok off via somewhere at podtrac.com
to keep count of how many listeners there are subscribing.  (thanks Pete an Frequencycast.com !)
some affected feeds i use are here..

'Security Now' .. from Leo Laportes Twit.tv podcast network.. not much Linux info tho..
i have emailed and asked him for a hand. no real joy as yet.

and a British TV/Multimedia news podcast i enjoy, .. i asked Pete there, and he did a little digging around,
he suggested it *may* be my Podcatcher.

my software is Amarok 1.4.6  under KDE 3.5.7 PCLinuxOS  using the Xine engine.
weird thing is, the podcasts all worked well under a previous Amarok... though they may not have been using Podtrac then.

I tried Rhythmnbox and Castpodder.. with very similar results, on the same two podcasts. weird.
Any ideas anyone ? this has been the case for months..

Oh dear .. it looks like i'm the only one having this trouble, or nobody knows..
I may have to try the evil proprietry 'Itunes' under wine..  Amarok is becoming a pain to use for podcasting ..
oh well ...
