Product:iPhone/iPod touch Product Version:5.0 (9a5313e)
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: When you start downloading a podcast directly on device tapping on the downloading podcast item action is not clear.

Steps to Reproduce: 

- Go to iTunes.app
- Download any podcast (only tested on audio podcast)
- Go to Music.app and open the currently-downloading podcast

Expected Results: Start playing the podcast on the on-disk copy.

Actual Results: The podcast was streaming. If you lose internet connection (or switch to cellular data on a 20 MB+ podcast) the podcast will stop streaming, and the copy that was downloading is apparently lost (not able to start the podcast again).

Regression:

Notes: During the streaming of the podcast, the iTunes.app, in the Downloads tab, was showing "playing". No way to know if the podcast is downloading, finished downloading, stopped downloading or else.
