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.
