You should check your RSS reader settings and see how many podcasts it lets
downloaded. It is
set to 3 by default. The setting is called Number of podcasts to mark for
download? If
this is set to zero, this would cause this. If this doesn't work, Michael
Mcdonald told us all that
this can be a bug, and will be fixed in the next release. That was shourtly
after 1.1.1 was released.
