When using a mediadevice plugin to transfer podcasts or listen to them in
Amarok, the location doesn't matter/ isn't needed by the user. The
downloaded files are only used as cache.
However, if you want to have all files in a easily accessible folder you can
change the path in the configuration dialog of a channel. It's also possible
to change them all at one by right clicking on the red podcast folder and
choosing change settings of children.

I also discovered by experimenting that I could drag the podcast program

Might be some code in playlistbrowser (?) not using the filename of localUrl
in the db?

Thank you.

Might be a good idea to have some documentation about using podcasting on
the wiki.
