I've confirmed this two ways 1) I used a python program to mock a web server, I've checked it responds to HEAD requests on non-standard ports 2) When I right click on a podcast feed and select properties, I can see that it is not showing the port number on the URL, even though I know it does in the podcast XML.

Other feeds work fine. I guess this is due to the Überklang-Podcast using Port 8000: All mp3 urls are like "http://listening.at:8000/ueberklang/ueber060708.mp3", with only the last part (numbers, for the release date) changing. I can download all episodes from this feed using Miro, so it's a Rhythmbox issue.
