My feed has always been fine:

http://tinkernet.org/feed/

has enclosure links like so:

http://tinkernet.org/enclose.cgi/http://www.archive.org/download/Kid_Gymnastics/20060223kidgymnastics.mov

use curl -I on that and you get:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found

Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.20 OpenSSL/0.9.7d mod_perl/1.29 
PHP/4.4.1
Location: 
http://www.archive.org/download/Kid_Gymnastics/20060223kidgymnastics.mov
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

use curl -I on the Location and you get:

HTTP/1.1 302 Found

which sends you the Location of the actual file, which you can then 
request... use curl -I on the Location and you get:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 17:55:32 GMT

So FireAnt (and any other http client that does the right thing) should 
always get it...

I could have just as easily used a URL like:

http://tinkernet.org/enclose.cgi/1746

but I like my URLs ;)

they have the added side-effect of logging each request on my own 
server, even though the file is stored elsewhere.
