     Now that's a good question but I'm not quite sure how to figure it 
out.  Amarok has marked these episodes as downloaded already so I don't 
know why it would download them again.  If I understand this output 
correctly, I downloaded the file on the 20th and the time stamp was 
changed for no apparent reason today but the file is still 6 days old 
and not a new file.  Also, I manually download these files via a 
secondary-click in Amarok.  Amarok is configured to automatically scan 
for updates to this netcast but not to download them.
