Hi

I have tried this under Windows XP like you did, and it worked perfectly in my case!
I used TinyWeb to speed up the process. The Windows XP hosts file is located in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc.
Follow the same process as the Mark's one.

If I may add, I think you should be careful with the fake XML file:
- if you want to make the pushed episodes be at the right place within the existing episodes, fill in the field correctly according to the pub dates of the existing ones, in other words, make the pub date of the item in between the others.
- first when I set up the XML file with the missing episodes, I did not pay attention to pub dates, and when I updated the podcast, the episodes were added last, I stopped the download, followed the note above, and then updated again the podcast, it did nothing... uh!?... as if iTunes already checked this sync, even in changing in the XML file, so I unsubscribed/re-subscribed the podcast and then the missing episodes appeared correctly located, ready to download with button Get.

Hope it will help somebody else because as far as I know, a lot of people are looking for this on the web.
Really thank you Mark!
