Using Feedstation 2.0.0.25, I've noticed that many of the downloaded files from my feeds have started to be named "redirect.mp3" instead of the original MP3 name. These are ones where the feeds are sending me through podtrac. A good example feed is
http://leoville.tv/podcasts/itn.xml
The enclosure tag in the feed looks like
<enclosure url="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3?http://aolradio.podcast.aol.com/insidethenet/ITN-033.mp3" length="18482920" type="audio/mpeg"/>
It should be downloaded as ITN-033.mp3, but instead, it's showing up as redirect.mp3. If FeedStation downloads the next one, it either overwrites it or put it in another folder.

We've had another report of problems with this feed, but I can't even connect to the server right now to reproduce the problem.
Are you seeing any connection problems?

| I have been seeing connection problems. I'm also seeing downloads failing if it tries to DL two items from the feed at one time, since it's trying to download both to "redirect.mp3".

Looks like Leo's feeds are back up to speed. I've got a case into the dev on this. (72231)

I've been having the same issue in Feeddemon. I thought I just needed to update the feed URL, because that has solved the problem for me in the past...but here's the updated URL that is still having issues:
http://leoville.tv/podcasts/twit.xml

I am having the same issue as well on another feed that I use regularly, the feed to Comic Geek Speak. Every one of their episodes has been downloading as redirect.mp3 as of late. I'm assuming this has to do with Podtrac, correct? iTunes seems to get the porper names for these episodes, and when I download directly from their website using DownThemAll! I have no problems, yet FeedDemon and FeedStation have this issue.
If you need to feed, it's http://www.bryandeemer.com/cgs/rss.xml
This also happens to me with TWiT. If there is any way around this please let me know, as I have two podcasts as well, and I just activated Pdtrac on one of them and would like to avoid this issue.
EDIT: Yep, the minute I started using Podtrac on my own feed, http://feeds.feedburner.com/ComicTimingPodcast the downloads became redirect.mp3 too. ARG!

Yes, it's to do with Podtrac. This is the URL I see when I hover over the enclosure icon in an affected feed:
http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3?http://twit.cachefly.net/FLOSS-012.mp3
From that I'd say it's pretty obvious what's happening. When is a fix likely? I'm going to have to switch to another podcatcher in order to download my podcasts for now.
