Q: Can't Download Episodes from your feed

There is an ongoing problem at Soundcloud and you've fallen over it, in common with a number of other posters. The URL of your top episode's media file is

http://feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/261810590-metalhead-asia-episode-1.mp3

This redirects to http://feeds-tmp.soundcloud.com/stream/261810590-metalhead-asia-episode-1.mp3

When entering the URL in a browser others have seen an error message saying '403 Forbidden: Request forbidden by administrative rules' but you get nothing at all - perhaps a change since yesterday. This is something only Soundcloud can fix. Their Status blog says there is a problem with the feeds, so though this is with the audio file rather than the feed it's probably all part of the same problem.
