Actually, recent versions of gPodder 3 for windows now also include a menu item that lets users choose a new download folder. This should take care of this from the Windows perspective. I'm thinking of just doing something like https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder/pull/4 and reading an environment variable for the download directory. For Linux users, I think the ideal way to solve this is to just set ~/gPodder/Downloads to be a symlink to wherever you want to have your downloads stored. If you don't want to clutter your $HOME, set GPODDER_HOME to a different directory. For users without symlinks (for some reason or the other, e.g. because GPODDER_HOME is on a vfat partition), I think having an additional GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR environment variable set will account for all possibilities.
