I listen to most of my podcasts on my nokia mobile phone, which directly downloads the podcasts overnight. Occasionally I want to listen to a podcast when I'm in my house, so I also have my Mac download the same podcast, even though I tend not to listen to them on that machine that often. I guess I'm going to find some of them randomly unsubscribing. Wow, that’s going to be annoying.

It just lists the RSS URLs in categories. The files are hosted by the producers of the podcast. Other than policing to make sure no-one's being illegal (and therefore shouldn't be in the ITMS directory) the podcast service costs them nothing. Another example: Google doesn't serve you web pages itself when you search for them. It simply tells you where they are. ITMS and podcasts is the same. Except Apple doesn’t host podcasts.
