podcastpull is a small simple command line java program that can be used to quickly download podcasts. while searching for an application to help me download i found that everything was complicated and most required a ui and were hard to setup and understand. the result was podcastpull.
download the latest jar file and from a command line run:
java -jar podcastpull-1.0.jar
you should get a basic command line parameter help page
usage: podcastpull -d,--dir <arg> target base directory, defaults to './data' -h,--help print this message -p,--podcast <arg> source url for podcast (required)
the source is available on github
