What do you mean with "most of them ends up as the same mp3 file"? Are
they saved to one file, essentially overwriting each other on downloads?
How can they have the correct titles/headings then?

Maybe you mean the MD5-summed filenames look strange to you? gPodder
uses directory names and file names that look like
"f8eda9e8d18cee72ac3105096bdd9568" or
"a961d6c6e6b0993617f1b3282439009e.mp3" (that's the NRK P2 podcast and
its newest episode). If you want to have better names, you can use the
"sync" feature of gPodder to do a one-way sync of your podcasts to a
local directory (filesystem-based MP3 player is the option in question).
The reason for this is that URLs and filenames of podcast files are so
unpredictable that the only good way to differentiate between them is by
URL, because if the URL is the same, the file contents should also be
the same.
Hope that clears things up, or is there a real bug here, unrelated to
md5-summed filenames?
Thomas
