I have several podcasts which work perfectly fine in iTunes, but when I attempt to download additional episodes on the iPhone I get the message "there was a problem downloading this podcast" once the download completes.

All I can find points to my iPhone not having enough disk space. The settings tells me I have 1GB available. I've also tried deleting some content and receive the same message.

Originally, I thought this might be due to the RSS feed indicating a different file size than the media file, but I manually verified its correct.

A podcast which I can always reproduce this problem has the following feed: http://www.podquiz.com/rss.php

I can reproduce the problem on both WiFi and 3G.
