[Bug 326827] [NEW] Podcasts downloading can't be finished

[klerewklr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

If Banshee begins downloading a podcast, the area "Downloading
podcast(s)" in left-bottom corner appears and downloading goes on until
at some point before "100%" this area disappears and downloading stops
without any message. Banshee returns to state as before downloading and
continues to work. This applies both to if downloading was started
automatically or manually.

While downloading Banshee creates temporary directory in
~/.config/banshee-1/downloads in which it places a temporary file. When
downloading stops this directory is deleted.

It seems that it is the same bug as the reported one at
http://www.nabble.com/Podcasts-start-downloading-then-stop-at-random---
td20493650.html. mattman writes there that navigating to
~/.config/banshee-1/downloads and selecting a temporary file prevents
Banshee from stopping. I've tried so and got my first downloaded podcast
in Banshee which appeared in ~/Music/Podcasts. However it is not a
solution because it doesn't solve the problem with automatic downloading
of podcasts when updating.

Playing (streaming) a podcast without downloading by double-clicking it
or pressing the play button works alright.

Software versions:
Ubuntu version is 8.10 (Intrepid).
Banshee version is 1.2.1 (1.2.1-3ubuntu1) which is the version shipped with Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). However I've also tried the latest Banshee 1.4.2 (1.4.2-1~intrepid1) installed from the source "http://ppa.launchpad.net/banshee-team/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main" and there was the same bug.
