Some with present simple v. plural nouns

[rhubarb]

Hi all - I'm at a loss to explain why this is wrong, but I know it is: "I like to use the internet to download some podcasts". Obviously, the correct form would be a plural noun: "I like to use the internet to download podcasts". Is it something to do with using 'some' with the present simple for routine/habit? I'd be very grateful for the rule (and am hoping there is one).
Thanks in advance.

"I like to use the internet to download some podcasts"

The use of some in this sentence is strange because it implies that you don't use the internet to download other podcasts. That doesn't make any sense.

A rule is too much to hope for, but yes, basically: the habitual 'I like to' goes with 'podcasts' generically, not some indefinite number of podcasts.

It usually is.
