This is because the RSS feed reports the size of the file this way. If you look
at the source of the feed, you will see that the length of these files is
indeed reported as 1 byte. gPodder will fix the episode size once downloaded
(because it can know then the real file size by looking at the downloaded
file).
gPodder has _no_way_ of knowing the file size other than:
1.) looking at the feed and believing the info there (which it does already)
2.) using a HTTP HEAD request (which is expensive, we've done that before,
doesn't work out sometimes)
3.) downloading the whole file (which it does if you decide to download an
episode)
I think the code for retrieving information like pubDate and file size for
wrong feeds is still in gPodder, so you can hack and enable this feature in the
source code if you like.
Other than that, the responsibility to fix this bug lies with the
Podcast/Feed/RSS author of the podcast for which this bug happens. Please
contact them and tell them to have their bug fixed. You will notice that in
other podcast clients, you should also see a wrong size.
Thanks for your bug report. Should we put this in the FAQs somewhere?
