iTunes is downloading as we speak. I finally got sick of the behavior of all the podcast downloaders that I’d tried.
- Juice would start downloading 4 or 5 files and then stall out randomly and not resume.
- Winamp doesn’t do anything without brute force methods.
- Doppler won’t queue more than 2 files at a go and locks up the UI for 15 seconds here and there whenever it has to think hard.
My use case is this: I find something I want to hear and then I want to pull down 10 or 15 files to get the whole thing. Shouldn’t be hard, but apparently I’d be wrong.
I am worried that iTunes is going to take over my whole computer and make my life miserable with Quicktime (utter resource hogging piece of cruft that it is). I don’t need a media manager, I don’t need another playback tool, I really don’t need the iTunes Store, all I want is to bulk-download a batch of podcast MP3 files.
