Right click the podcast in your list of subscribed podcasts and there should be a "download all" option. Just found this myself after agonizingly clicking each download link for a few shows. Addition: The list to click is the one on the left side of the screen, not with all episodes open. Didn't work on screen with all eps open, does work when only left side list is seen. No idea why, but thanks for this, worked for me.
