Wow.

Talk about coincidence! I just submitted that patch yesterday :-)

The patch should be ready very soon, but for the time being here's the latest 
source with the current version of the patch already applied:
http://nikosapi.org/other-stuff/gpodder-r355-password-patch.tar.bz2

If you'd like, take it for a test run and tell us what you think. If you add 
the feed, gPodder will notice your credentials and ask if you want to use 
them when downloading shows off the server, say ok and you should be good to 
go! Or if you have already added the feed click the 'Edit channel 
information' button and put your credentials in the advanced tab.
