Podcast Subscriptions not downloading the latest

First, let me say, MM3 (1105) is the new killer app. With Podcast subscriptions, you've taken all motivation away from using iTunes!
When I subscribe to Air America podcasts, MM3 is not downloading the latest podcast. It looks like its pulling the earliest PC.
When i remove the podcast it has downloaded, and then click on update podcast, it seems to download a random podcast, not exactly the earliest one, and not exactly the latest one.

This is their premium service, so it will require a userid and password to work properly. Maybe I can find another podcast feed to try... or maybe I could im you my userid and pass

Thank you, we found another podcast (
http://www.airamerica.com/premium/podcast.php?pid=4 ) where the problem is also reproducable.
It is fixed on this podcast in build 1110. (check over RC4 later)
The podcast needs to be re-subscribed so that the download order is right !!
Releated note:
The problem was that
http://www.airamerica.com/premium/podcast.php?pid=4 have unknown <PubDate> (release date) for all its episodes (i.e. the podcast doesn't correspond to the podcast specification
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podca ... specs.html ).
Therefore iTunes doesn't show the release date at all and consider it as unknown, we use the date of updating in the case that the date tag is missing from feed XML. In that way MM tries to be more smart than iTunes and guess the release date although this info is not presented in the feed XML.

Thanks for the quick reply and turnaround, I look forward to testing the fix!

All of my subscriptions download correctly, expect for one, which doesn't download any items. This occurs with version 3.0.2.1129.

Actually, I found one more.
For this one, the published dates are not interpreted correctly, so it is not downloading the most recent 10.

Thank you,
1. The podcast
http://rss.vanguard.com/pod/plaintalk.xml
- fixed in the next beta of MM 3.0.2
2. The podcast
http://www.hometowntales.com/htpodcast.xml
- the date is not in the format defined in RFC 2822, 3.3. Date and Time Specification (
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html ), but we added a correction, so it is fixed in the next beta of MM 3.0.2. You can check over, but you will need to re-subscribe this podcast.
