Hi, thanks for filing the bug report.

The error you got is because the podcast feed itself was down at the moment you tried adding it.
I just went through the steps that you described, and it seems that in the meantime the feed is back up because I can import it without any problems (see screenshot).  So it should work if you try it again.

NB: Even if the link was still down, it's not something that Kasts can do anything about.  The discover functionality is based on podcastindex.org, so if the reported feed link is not correct, then it should be reported to podcastindex.org.  And if the link is correct, but the feed is down, then you should contact the podcasters themselves so they can fix it with their hosting service.

Interesting its still not working for me, all those links are dead too:

Those links work perfectly fine for me.  Both the homepage and the feed are there, both in the webbrowser and Kasts.
This sounds like a network problem to me.

Seems you are right, first time this happend to me that a specific page is not working like that. Sorry for the trouble.

No problem.  Weird things occasionally happen.
Glad you seem to have figured out the root cause of the problem now.
