I have problems mostly when my internet connection is interrupted. My apartment is set up so that I must log in through a web browser, so when I am logged out, I am sent a login.php from the server. Browsing podcast directories revealed that one or two download files have been interrupted and renamed/replaced.

Right now I am considering giving Banshee or Exaille a trial to see if the problem is similar with them - to be honest, I'd be much happier to use something lightweight like gpodder if it had a function to resume - I only want to use Rhythmbox/ the player/ to present me with options to play the files rather than have to autostart it to get the downloads going.

gpodder is far behind in some respects - at least Rhythmbox uses a logical English archiving system to save the files.

The worst aspect is that damaged downloads are lost and cannot be recovered through the podcatcher.
