Rhythmbox always fails when it tries to download podcasts from either of
the podcasts at http://www.sciam.com/podcast/. When trying to download
a podcast, Rhythmbox immediately reports a failure. Running in debug
mode produces this output when trying to download one of the files:

The same situation happens for the other files in either of the two
feeds (http://www.sciam.com/podcast/sciam_podcast_r_d.xml or
http://www.sciam.com/podcast/sciam_podcast_r.xml) on the website.
Whatever the fix was for #321991 doesn't seem to work for this case.
Reading the code for rb_podcast_manager_copy_post (in
podcast/rb-podcast-manager.c) suggests that GnomeVFS has trouble with
URIs with query strings in them; Rhythmbox builds the "correct" URI
behind the library's back, and then tells GnomeVFS to try it. However,
for these two feeds, the redirect leads to *another* URL with a query
string, which GnomeVFS presumably tries to handle by itself and chokes
on.
So, this might actually end up being a bug in GnomeVFS rather than
Rhythmbox, unless there's some way to work around this issue in
Rhythmbox.
