Where are the locally recorded audio files in adobe podcasts?

Ok, so I tried recording a podcast episode of 70 min with 3 participants including myself.  We have over 180 episodes out and each of us owns a pro audio studio, so we pretty much know how to record.
After the recording was done it took more than 2 hours until the files were ready to download. At that point I was asking myself why it takes so long if the original files only need to upload... Then I downloaded the "original" files and the sound quality was a desaster... It seemed "enhanced", but totally not in a good way. The audio was gated, most word-beginnings were cut-off which makes the whole episode unuseable. The audio was sort of maximized in a very bad ways which leads to awful distortion. 
My question... are the original recorded files anywhere to be found? What is being downloaded under "Original Audio" is definitely not what it says... The mixed version with all 3 participants in one track is a complete waste... And before someone asks, I have made a safety recording of my own voice and this file is as clean and pro-quality as it can be. Unfortunately my colleages didn't, so I can't publish this episode, because I just can't use the recorded files unless I find the actual original recording somewhere... Any help? Or do I just throw this epidose into my trash bin and apologize to thousands of listeners? 
I mean, it's my bad, this is beta, I know. And we all should have made safety recordings. But I really thought I can download the locally recorded audio files... Because it says everywhere you can do that... 
And just to be clear, yes, I have premium account with my CC subscription and I'm able to download the seperate tracks in theory. 
Oh and also it takes about 10 minutes or more until the studio page with the recordings is loading, I have a very fast internet connection, so it's not that... 
I appreciate any help...  Cheers, Sven
