Old Podcasts Not Downloading/Refreshing?

I will get busy at work and not open my iTunes for weeks on end. This means that my podcasts will stack up when I finally do open it... just not uploaded (i.e., with the little "cloud/download" icon next to them). My setting are set as suggested for auto downloading, and even when hitting "Refresh" manually after the auto feature is done does not download these back-episodes.

Here is an example for visual explanation of what is being said (since I am a new member, I am not able to post the full URL... but you are savvy enough to finish the link): youtu.be/NTDH1vlJTcE

Is there a way to have iTunes download these episodes without having to manually open every podcast and click each "download" icon?
