It seems to take a long time even if I'm over someone else's house or in a public wifi--so it's not my own home connection.

Maybe a configuration option would be helpful to increase that timeout? The reason for the introduction of the timeout is to make "hung up" downloads fail after a while and not block the download queue forever.

By the way - is anyone else having issues with timeouts? It would be nice to get some feedback if that's the case, because I did not run into any issues for the last two weeks or so of testing the timeout feature in the development version 
Update: nikosapi made some progress tracing back the timeout issue. According to him, the timeout of 60 seconds is not the issue, but some other bug related to resuming. We'll keep you posted.

gPodder 0.16.1, which includes a fix to this issue, has been released today. You will be able to grab it from extras-devel right now or from extras later today. If you have any further questions or issues, just post in here or report them at the bug tracker. Thanks!

I really like the gpodder tool - thanks for all your hard work.
While we are on the subject of the download manager, I've noticed gpodder isn't very robust if the wifi link goes in and out. I noticed this with the previous version and haven't tested it yet with this one. It will abort the download and not automatically retry. It also appends the audio stream to what has already been downloaded, so you get to listen to the starting portion multiple times. This has probably been fixed, but I just thought I'd mention my observations in case this is new info.
Thanks for the great program!

Feature requests: Offline mode and Pause/Resume when going Offline/Online (subscribe to these bugs if you want to be informed about progress).

I'm using 0.16.0 and ever since I upgraded I've been having issues where I hit the "Update All" button and gPodder starts updating podcasts and then when it's almost done, my tablet reboots. It doesn't happen every time, but it seems to happen more often than not.
Is this related to the timeout issue? How can I find out what gPodder is doing right before the reboot?
I'm updating to 0.16.1-1 right now to see if that helps.

Code:
gpodder --maemo --verbose 2>&1 | tee gpodder.log
That said, the current "workaround" for the update reboot problem is to simply update feeds one by one. I am also not totally sure why this happens, it never really reboots for me (but then, I'm only subscribed to some 5 to 7 podcasts).

Does anyone that has swap running notice a crash (system reboot) if you subscribe to alot of podcasts and try to do an update for all of them. Seems to always happen to me. But if I don't turn on swap it won't crash.
