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.
