Bug Description

Adding a Podcast URL with "_" character(s) such as:

http://www.thenakedscientists.com/naked_scientists_podcast.xml

Produces an error like:

ERROR source.podcast.FeedsDownloadJob 3480230 Podcast feed load failed http://www.thenakedscientists.com/nakedscientistspodcast.xml

On a hunch adding escape characters "\" in front of the missing "_"s avoids the error.

Um.. I may have jumped the gun on this. The other program I was copying the list from stripped the "_"s out of the name. I copied it directly from the website and then tried the escape characters. However I was downloading other podcasts at the time, so I was hard to tell if it was added with or without "\"s.

I've tried again with another URL with "_"s and it seemed to work. So may be false report. Sorry.
