Title:
  Rhythmbox frequently fails to compleatly download podcasts

Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  Invalid
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  Rhythmbox 0.11.5 fails to download podcasts fully, they stop part way through. 
  This is not an issue when the files are downloaded with firefox or wget. There is obviously some error checking or broken download detection and resume built in to firefox / wget, but not rhythmbox. This is extremely frustrating as it leaves me having to manually download podcasts or miss the end of the episodes.  
  Rhythmbox should download the files as reliably as firefox and should flag any incomplete downloads. It should also have a feature to re-download a file, as this can't currently be done.

  This appears to be due to damaged packets, as it is much more frequent
  when i am using my wireless network (which occasionally looses
  connection) than when I am on the wired network.

  NOTE: This is not a duplicate of the fixed bug as that one relates to
  specific URLs completely failing to download, where as I am making
  people aware about the frequent failure to completely download all or
  a file.
