What do the old files look like? Where are/were they? Are they normally destroyed as part of the upgrade?
The old files are either in ~/.config/gpodder/ or directly in /media/mmc2/gpodder/. The old files are named "channelsettings.pickle.db" (in the gpodder dir) and "index.xml" (in the podcast-specific downloa dir) and are converted to the single database.sqlite file by gPodder.

Is there a way to rebuild the database using the already downloaded files? Many of the podacsts are no longer available…
If you have the downloaded files in their old location, and your podcast list converted, trying to download one of these files should result in a check if the file already exists, and if it does, it just gets marked as "downloaded" and no downloading is done. I think this still holds true for 0.14.0, too, so please give it a try.
