When I ask iTunes to download new podcast which in the end should end up in this linked folder(i.e. on my other machine) they wont, they stay in a folder C:\Users\Administrator\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads\Podcasts Though if I also link the downloads folder on to a tmp folder on my other machine it works... hmm something strange going on here..

I have been looking for a solution for a similar problem. I basically don't store anything in my Library accept one thing, a lot of podcasts. Usually I listen or watch these on the iPhone but for instance TED I would like to watch on the TV and thus rather store those on my file server than in the iTunes Library. So I used mklink to create a symbolic link for the folder where iTunes but the different RED episodes. BUT this will not work! It works fine to play the episodes that I copied over to the server but when iTunes tries to download a new episode they never appear in the folder on the server! Inside the Podcasts folder there are folders for all the different shows but also one called Downloads. This is were all the new TED episodes end up. Do you subscribe to any podcasts? Does it work as expected? Great guide! I have been looking for a solution for a similar problem. I basically don’t store anything in my Library accept one thing, a lot of podcasts.
