Generally, you get these errors for one of 3 really good reasons:
1) You forgot to turn on your internet/forgot to pay your bill. I've had this happen.
2) The feed is down! (don't panic, they'll fix it.)
3) Your podcast has gone dark. (Panic, this means it won't be fixed.)
If those are /not/ the reason for your podcast failing to update, you have a larger problem.
