NAME

       podracer - A podcast aggregator with BitTorrent support

SYNOPSIS

       podracer [-c|-catchup|--catchup|catchup]
       podracer [-v|-version|--version|version]

DESCRIPTION

       Podracer is a podcast downloader.  It takes a file with the URLs to all
       your podcast rss feeds and goes and gets the mp3s and stores them in  a
       specified  location.   It  is a BASH script with an internal BitTorrent
       downloader written in Python.

OPTIONS

       -c, -catchup, --catchup, catchup
              Run podracer in catchup mode.  RSS feeds are retrieved and their
              enclosures  are  reported to the user´s log, but no podcasts are
              downloaded.

       -v, -version, --version, version
              Show Podracer version information and exit.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

       Podcast  subscriptions  are  stored   in   a   file   typically   named
       ~/.podracer/subscriptions.

       Each  line of the subscription file consists of a URL to a podcast feed
       and its
              optional  corresponding  download  directory name separated by a
              space or tab.  Any line that is blank or  that  does  not  begin
              with a URL or the absolute path to a local file name is ignored.
              If a download directory is specified in the  subscription  file,
              it  will  be created under the directory specified by the poddir
              config option.  If no download directory is specified, the shows
              will be stored directly in poddir.

       A  sample  subscription  file  is  included  with  Podracer, and can be
       created in a
              user´s directory when running Podracer for the first time.
