Downloaded episodes are no longer downloaded

New postby Loopy on Sun Feb 15, 2009 12:10 pm

I subscribed to a new podcast yesterday (Stuff You Should Know) and it started by downloading the most recent 4 episodes as expected.

Then I manually downloaded 58 other episodes.

Today only the original 4 show as downloaded.

(I don't know if this is related, but between the manual downloads and today I turned on the Blackberry's Mass Storage Mode and copied a single podcast from the computer via USB. I then played some of it using File Playback in PodTrapper)

Hi Loopy,

The issue there is when PodTrapper sees a new episode (or any time it updates, I think), it tries to keep the number of downloaded episodes under the 'To Keep' setting in the Podcast settings. Right now it's not smart enough to know that you manually downloaded them, and it probably shouldn't delete them. The only way around it is to set the to keep number really high.

Sorry about that, hopefully it'll get smarter over time.
