Podget
Podget is a simple podcast aggregator optimized for running as a scheduled background job (i.e. cron). It features support for downloading podcasts from RSS and XML feeds, for sorting the podcasts into folders and categories, for importing podcast URLs from iTunes PCAST files and OPML lists, automatic M3U and ASX playlist creation, and automatic cleanup of old podcasts. It also features automatic UTF-16 conversion for podcasts hosted on Windows servers.

Nothing needs to be changed. We started tracking sessions because some people had feed lists so long that some updates would cause their cron jobs to trigger off multiple sessions & multiple downloads of the same files.

This appears to be a bug. What version of Podget are you running?

1+ refers to the number 1 or any bigger digit. It could be 1, it could be 5, it could be 100.
Some remarks about podget
Hi,
Thanks for the nice program.
1.
When I run podget I get the message: Session file not found. Creating.
Can you explain to me what this means? Do I have to do / change something?
Maybe the explanation can be added to the man file.
2.
The log files do not get to the logfile folder appointed in the podgetrc file. In stead they go to the .LOG folder in the by me appointed Podcasts folder. Any idea on how I can solve this, what causes it?
3.
In the help:
# Most Recent
# 0 == download all new items.
# 1+ == download only the <count> most re
What does the + after the 1 mean. I found it confusing. I thougt I had to enter
most_recent=5+
for example. But it has to be most_recent=5
Thanks.
