I don't understand how you can say "It'll only take 5 or 10 minutes if 
you've got a slow connection (e.g.
 dialup)."    The time to download is determined by the quaility setting AND 
the length of the video.   And so far you have said nothing about the 
lengths of these podcasts.  A 5 minute video is will not be the same as a 30 
min video.
