iTunes is not wanting to download the podcast. It's stuck at 0KB of 1.0KB (which seems an unlikely file size for a 44 minute podcast). Anyone else having issues, or is it just me?

Ah. Did some research on the error code, and turned off my VPN. Now it's downloading just fine (that hasn't been an issue for this podcast in the past, but I have had similar issues with the VPN and NPR podcasts occasionally). Looking forward to listening to it at work tomorrow.
