iTunes suits me just fine for music, but its podcast handling is baffling. iTunes has a feature intended to save bandwidth for podcasters. If you don't listen to a podcast within some undetermined period of time, iTunes stops downloading new episodes of that podcast. The only warning that it has done so is a tiny icon next to the podcast name. There's no way to configure the timeout or turn off the feature, which isn't documented in the Help files. Let's go over that again: 1. The program stops doing a user-scheduled task without asking; 2. it doesn't warn the user it's done so; 3. it doesn't even document the feature; and, 4. it doesn't allow the feature to be configured or disabled. That's not just wrong; it's exhaustively wrong: wrong in absolutely every way a feature can be wrong. It's Bizarro application design: "We make feature do exact opposite of what user expect!"
