using the "all cnet" pc as the basis for this (that's a good one for large numbers of downloads).
my all cnet pc shows 4 pc's ready and 12 not downloaded. none from this pc are in the download queue.
in my default podcast settings, i have "unfinished number to keep" set to 22, and my "max to auto-download" set to 22 (easiest number to get to, just hit "2" twice, instead of trying to scroll thru the list)
this should queue up the rest of the pc's in the "all cnet" pc (this is not a space issue, as other episodes from other pc's are queued up and downloading)
when i go into the pc, if i pick "[re]download this episode", i get "Note: This podcast has more episodes downloaded than allowed, some will be auto deleted. would you like more info?" if i click yes, it tells me that the default is 4 (which is what is downloaded now), but that this can be changed in the "edit podcast" menu item from the main screen.
if i go to the main screen, i do see that i can change this for my podcast (in fact, this clearly invalidates a feature request i put in last night, i'll go update that post). however, shouldn't it default to what is set for all my default settings? or does it default to what was in the default settings when i added that pc and not get changed?
