"Network connection was reset" on attempting to subscribe to podcast

I tired to subscribe to podcasts tonight, and none of them work. When I click any of the 'subscribe' buttons, I get the error dialog reporting the following:

*We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The*
*network connection was reset.*

Make sure your network connection is active and try again.

Here I am posting to this forum, so there's nothing wrong with my network connection. What gives?

I was unable to download episodes from a season I purchased. It kept giving me the same "connection has been reset" error message. But I went and clicked on support under quick links in iTunes and it allowed me to start downloading from that screen. I didn't have to go into anything, it just automatically popped up that I had items to download and asked if I wanted to download them. I clicked on it, it prompted me for my password, and then started downloading them instantly.
