Amarok and Podcasts

I seem to have gotten myself into a bit of a twist here. I used to use 
IcePodder, which I quite liked, but it has a dependency on python-xmms 
which seems beyond my abilities to fix after upgrading to Kubuntu Hardy. 
So I looked for alternatives, and saw that Amarok would also function as 
a podcatcher. I got my feeds set up, and everything seemed fine. But now 
I find that after I transfer files to my MP3 player, Everything gets 
downloaded again. In fact, it seems that Amarok is downloading every 
single episode available, even going back multiple months if that many 
are available. What I'd like is to download current files just once, put 
them on my MP3 player, and listen to them once. Then delete them and put 
on some more. Is there a way to do that with Amarok, or should I look 
for some other program to manage my podcasts?

Thank You,
