I'd never noticed before, but yes, it does: "downloading 1 file (100%, 1.18 GiB/s)". Is that aburd enough for you? The funny thing is that the download progress in the window shows 22%, 93.53 KiB/s for the last of five downloads. The other four completed.

Another funny thing is that when I first looked at the titlebar it showed 786 MB/s, then went 1.18GiB, then  2.39 GiB and now shows 2.78GiB. So it's not totally locked up, I just can't see what's happening.

I think I have this problem too. Does your gPodder show some absurdly high download speed in the titlebar when it crashes?

I think it happens when my Internet connection is bad, but I'm not too sure. Right now, I've set my gPodder to download episodes one at a time, which seems to help. The problem still persists, but less frequently. It would be good to find a solution.

Bump. No one has any ideas on this? I've run it from the command line with -v, and it looks like parts of the program keep running, but the download thread(s) die. I've had to switch to Clementine, even though gpodder is better. On 27.10.18 07:48, Gary Shears wrote:
