           Summary: Download timeout with complicated url
           Product: gPodder
           Version: unspecified

Hi,

With the latest release and with the git version, I connot download episodes
from this feed:

http://www.gamespot.com/misc/podcast/podcast.xml

I get the following message in the GUI:
Failed: I/O Error: timed out: None

I think it is because the adress of the podcasts is quite complicated:
http://dw.com.com/redir/The_HotSpot_052609.mp3?siteid=6&ctype=podcast-feed&cval=podcast;052609&destURL=http%3A%2F%2Fll.lo.download.gamespot.com%2Fd4%2Ffree%2Fpodcast%2FThe_HotSpot_052609.mp3%3Fh%3Db425471aefdc1ea37b17ebefecdcec62%26file%3DThe_HotSpot_052609.mp3

I've tried with wget and it also fail. Maybe the url must be simplified and
changed into:

http://ll.lo.download.gamespot.com/d4/free/podcast/The_HotSpot_052609.mp3

A solution would be to replace all the specials caracters, such as "%2F" with
the corresponding symbol, then search for the name of the file
(The_HotSpot_052609.mp3), and cut everything after it and everything before the
last "http://"; found.

Which is strange is that I was able to downlod from this feed when I was using
gpodder 0.14.1 ... I've change my gpodder version last week, and I don't think
they have change anything in the xml file since then.

The solution I've found is to download the podcast wit firefox, then put it in
the corresponding directory and gpodder thinks that the download succeeded.
