NAME

castget - download RSS enclosures

SYNOPSIS

castget [OPTION]... [CHANNEL IDENTIFIER]...

DESCRIPTION

The program downloads RSS enclosures, for example podcasts, from RSS feeds. RSS feeds are assigned channel identifiers in the configuration file .castgetrc. Channels to be processed by castget are indicated by supplying the channel identifiers as arguments. If no channel identifiers are provided, all available channels are processed. If run without any options, castget will perform the default action on all channels to be processed. The default action is to download any enclosure not already downloaded. Other actions may be performed by supplying one or more options as arguments.

OPTIONS

Operations -c, --catchup catch up with channels and exit -l, --list list available enclosures that have not yet been downloaded, and exit -h, --help display help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit Operation filters -n, --new-only restrict operation to new channels only, i.e. to channels that have never been downloaded from or been caught up with before. Note that if a channel is added to the configuration and subsequently removed, its download history is preserved. This means that a channel that has been removed from the configuration file will not be considered as `new' if it is added to the configuration again at a later time. -1, --first-only restrict operation to the most recent item in each channel only. -f pattern, --filter=pattern restrict operation to items whose enclosures have names matching the regular expression pattern. Note that this will override any regular expression filters given in the configuration file. Global options -r, --resume resume aborted downloads -q, --quiet do not print anything except error messages -v, --verbose print detailed progress information -d, --debug print (lots of) connection debug information -p, --progress-bar print a progress bar when downloading enclosures -C filename, --rcfile=filename override the default filename for the configuration file

EXAMPLES
