Re-download podcasts without subscribing again

SWEET! Just started listening to PodCasts and was searching for a way to keep the list of episodes in iTunes without having to keep the actual file on my HD.

Re-download podcasts without subscribing again

I like to do the same thing, although podcast episodes (especially older ones for frequently updated feeds, e.g. rocketboom) can eventually disappear so if you've removed their iTunes entries there's no way to get them back. One workaround for that is deleting podcast files after listening and keeping their corresponding iTunes entries, losing the ability to "Get" the original files again (assuming they remained on the server). Otherwise, if I delete both a podcast episode and its iTunes entry there's no guarantee that episode still exists on the server if I refresh the feed. I just manually download any episodes of potential interest before they have a chance to disappear, then decide later what to with the files and iTunes entries.
