A couple friends and I started a podcast a few months ago -- I had to quickly educate myself about how to get the darn thing out there. To publish it, I've been using a shareware program called Feed For All. I have a few complaints about it, but basically it's OK...
But a few weeks ago, the file was mysteriously truncated -- unexpected end of file -- and I had some repair work to do.
I'm afraid this could happen again, and wondering what other options are for setting up the feed. Any other podcasters out there, how do you set up your XML file? Do you use some online service, some other software, etc.?

Feeder refused to open my existing XML file! But I figured out what screwed up the file before: I had copied and pasted some text from Dreamweaver into Feed For All, and apparently got some invisible character at the end of the selection which caused an end-of-file in the XML.
I had another question regarding feeds. In my Web site statistics, the number of downloads of the XML file goes up every month (1804 downloads last month), but downloads of any of the MP3 files enclosed by the XML are so few that they don't even show up. If an XML file facilitates the download of an MP3, does the MP3 not show up in download stats?
