If possible, please use gPodder 2.20 from the gPodder Ubuntu PPA, you
can get the link and instructions on how to add it from this URL:
http://gpodder.org/downloads
Don't worry that 3.0.1 is not available for Ubuntu yet - it will come
eventually, and for now, 2.20 is okay if you want device syncing.

No, this isn't a known issue. If this happens again with 2.20, please
file a bug report noting the two episodes that you downloaded and the
podcast feed URL (RSS URL) from which you downloaded the episodes.
You can file bug reports at http://bugs.gpodder.org/
Normally, gPodder takes care of renaming files with duplicate names, but
maybe there was a race condition for which this happened.
HTH :)
Thanks,
Thomas
