There will be a in version 2.2.2, scheduled to be release on the 3th
of January. Before downloading a podcast Amarok will check if the file
it would try to download is not on disk already.
Just make sure the podcast channel is configured to use the old save
location. Then try to download the episodes you know are on disk.

If you can please try out our git version or the beta late next week.
This feature can use some testing.

We already have OPML import but no export yet, that is planned for
next release. In any case it won't export the downloaded files, just
your channel subscriptions. Since there is no standard format that
includes downloaded files I don't think a complete export to another
program will be easy. Unless you write a script that can export
directly to the format of the other application that is.
