Yes, that's a nice idea, but I have some uncertainties her:

 * What about URLs like www.example.com/podcasts/download.php?id=5
 * When a feed stores its episodes on different servers, these 
   will be spread out in the "download directory", and therefore 
   one cannot easily delete a whole channel in the filesystem with
   a single
 
Other than that, I like your idea, but I don't know if the other
requesters of this feature have an easier time searching through a
(probably) deep directory structure instead of a "flat" channel/episode
structure.

The implementation would not be too difficult, but "old" episodes would
have to be rewritten/renamed.

What do the others think of this proposal?
