Podcast episodes won't download correctly

I have submitted a podcast to iTunes, they approved it, and now I'm trying to download it to my iPod touch via the Podcasts app. I try to play it but it says there's no length to it, and it says "Playback failed". So I go to the feed (http://thisurlisoccupied.3owl.com/podcast/feed.xml), and find that when making the edit, the urls to the audio files were wrong. So I change it to the correct url. It's now working when I subscribe to the podcast going to the "Advanced" Menu in iTunes, then click "Subscibe to Podcast..."

When I go to the iTunes store, and try to download what I think should be the updated feed. No difference. Now, is this because I have to wait for iTunes to acknowledge the change, or is there something wrong with my server or feed?

It normally takes a couple of days or so for the Store to see changes: as there are thousands of feeds it caches them and checks them periodically for updates. As it's working OK when you subscribe then you can expect the Store to update in a day or two.
