Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

This appears like it is related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/64096 as the
problem seems to be that Rhythmbox's podcast feed parser isn't correctly
handling redirects that use a question mark (?) in them.

The most recent example that I see is in trying to download the Linux
News Log podcast using their MP3 feed
(http://linux.quicksurf.com/?feed=rss2&cat=78).

You'll notice that the download links for the individual files look like this:
http://media.techpodcasts.com/linuxnewslog/www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3?http://audio.quicksurf.com/audiocasts/Linux-News-Log-147-2008-01-29.mp3

The redirect.mp3?http:// in that line appears to be the hangup.


Web browsers will download the files fine (though Firefox names the resulting 
feed redirect.mp3 instead of the actual filename of 
Linux-News-Log-147-2008-01-29.mp3.  That's also a bug that I will be filing.
