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.
