rhythmbox is unable to download podcast episodes with spaces in the URL

[Mark Senior]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I subscribe to the Shrink Rap Radio podcast. Feed URL is:
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/ShrinkRapRadio-APsychologyTalkAndInterviewShow

Rhythmbox is unable to download some of the episodes. The ones it failed to download have all had spaces in the filename, the ones it downloaded successfully did not.

For example, this episode downloaded successfully:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ShrinkRapRadio-APsychologyTalkAndInterviewShow/~5/TFG8SeTXRMA/249-The-Neuroscience-of-Happiness-Love-Wisdom-with-Rick-Hanson.mp3

But it was unable to download this one:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ShrinkRapRadio-APsychologyTalkAndInterviewShow/~5/zOHoeSBDJcE/#235- Using Alchemical Archetypes PART1.mp3

In cases where the download fails, it shows "waiting" as the status for perhaps 3-4 seconds, then "failed"

Pasting the same URL into Firefox downloaded the file without problems.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix, x86, on a Sony Vaio W

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
