Thanks for your report. One thing I quickly noticed when testing your feed is that you do not use the "length=" attribute of the enclosure elements correctly. The "length=" attribute should be the number of bytes of the file to be downloaded, not a media length or something. That said, I tried downloading the most recent episode and it works quite well. I could imagine the problem being related to the new URLs. If a feed doesn't provide GUIDs, gPodder will use the download URL as unique identifier for an episode. When the URL changes, gPodder might not be able to correctly identify old downloads and see the episodes already downloaded as "new". This problem could be prevented if you have provided GUIDs before and after the URL migration. Workaround: The users that are affected by this change should just download the newest episode from your feed. gPodder should then only offer to download new episodes that have been published _after_ the newest episode. Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to reply.
