Description
### User report
>Shows that used to download in just a few seconds now take minutes to complete the download. If I download the very same episodes in iOS Safari via a direct download off the RSS feed they download in just a few seconds, just like they used to in Pocket Casts
>podcasts that I have added via the regular process (search for a podcast in the app search and then subscribe) download super slow in Pocket Casts whereas the podcasts I have added via URL (those podcasts that are paid subscriptions) download at normal speed in Pocket Casts

Contributor guide
Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing downloads for podcasts found through app search versus podcasts added by URL, comparing both with a direct RSS download in iOS Safari. Done means the reported slowdown for regularly subscribed podcasts is resolved and the result is verified against those comparisons.
