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.
