I can't get my podcast through iTunes

[potthole]

That thread contains plenty of posts about what to do if you can't get your podcast link to download properly.

Yes but it contains nothing to help if the problem is with itunes itself, which means even if he read that thread there was no info that would help him.

Sure there is... if iTunes isn't working, try another program. One would think that option would come to mind pretty quickly and easily.
