castget(1) -- download RSS enclosures

SYNOPSIS

castget [...] [...]

DESCRIPTION

castget downloads RSS enclosures, for example podcasts, from RSS feeds.

RSS feeds are assigned s 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 , --filter=: Restrict operation to enclosures whose download URLs match 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. Make sure not to use this option if the RSS feed uses the same filename for multiple enclosures as this will corrupt existing 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 , --rcfile=: Override the default filename for the configuration file.

EXAMPLES

  • Download all enclosures not already downloaded:

    $ castget

  • Download all enclosures not already downloaded from channel foobar and be verbose:

    $ castget -v foobar

  • List all enclosures not already downloaded:

    $ castget -l

  • Catch up with channel foobar:

    $ castget -c foobar

  • List the first available enclosure in all new channels:

    $ castget -1 -n -l

  • Catch up with items that match the regular expression Freddies0[67] in the channel frederator:

    $ castget -c -f "Freddies0[67]" frederator
