The timezone in the RSS <pubDate> element is ignored, for example

<pubDate>Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:42:47 -0500</pubDate>

is displayed in qBittorrent on my computer as:

lundi 24 septembre 2012 12:42:47 CEST

instead of either:

lundi 24 septembre 2012 12:42:47 -0500

or:

lundi 24 septembre 2012 19:42:47 CEST

I don't know much about C++ but it seems to me that the problem is in the parseDate function starting at rssparser.cpp#L66. The timezone is parsed on line 137 but doesn't seem to be used to build the return value of the function.
