My strange podcast download issue continues -
https://james.cridland.net/blog/2025/odd-podcast-downloads/ now has further investigations (see "Day two"). It looks more and more like it's a Google issue, and nobody else.
One mitigation is to change the 6.8MB (128kbps/44.1kHz) file to 1.9MB (32kbps/24kHz) one. Give me 20x the traffic? I'll give you a 3x smaller file. aacHEv2 actually sounds decent enough at this bitrate.
