another Option could be to win the "Qtest App" Contest and then have
enough Money for the SSL Certificate ... but chances are slim :)
Cacert is really not much supported, StartSSL is also pretty cheap and
is available in many Browsers (don't know about mobile).
Another Point that needs to be considered with increasing popularity of
gpodder would be the Speed. At the Moment sometimes the Website is
nearly unacessible or very very slow.
I don't know if other Hosting Providers would offer better Speed or if
gpodder would need to upgrade the Virtual Machine it is hosted on, but
maybe this is also a Point where Donations could maybe help.
