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.
