--- Comment #1 from Thomas Perl <[email protected]>  2008-12-20 11:53:13 ---
Thanks for your detailed bug report. I can confirm this after looking at the
feed:

* The URLs for the files stay the same and repeat for every weekday
* The different episodes are listed by a different GUID, therefore old episodes
are being kept in the list

@Justin: Is there a sane way for us to detect this and hide/remove old episodes
with different GUID but same URLs? Does this break some other feeds? I would
not think so.

In words: If a single podcast contains multiple episodes with the same URL but
different GUID, we have to delete the old episode and only keep the new ones.
Still, there will be a problem with files having the same name because of the
same URL. The patch for the experimental file naming that assigns every episode
a unique filename (and we can detect unique episodes by the GUID here) should
fix this, though.

An interesting bug and also another example of how braindead some podcast
producers are (why not make good, unique URLs for downloads and not "re-use"
already-assigned URLs?!). It's a fault of the podcast author, but we try to
work around it ;)
