Don't overwrite downloaded podcasts

New postby cadzilla74 on Tue Sep 01, 2009 3:29 am

Scenario: I have elected to keep 4 episodes of each subscribed podcast/vodcast. But I often only listen to podcasts at work and have to view vodcasts at home.

When I stop listening for a while PodTrapper DL Manager wakes up and starts downloading new episodes. But in many cases it downloads episodes of newer vodcasts and deletes older ones that have not been viewed yet. I know I can set it to keep more than 4 episodes, but what I really want it to do is backfill the podcasts I just listened to that have newer episodes waiting and NOT download newer episodes of anything else unless there is an open slot of the designated 4 slots available to put it in.

Good idea for a setting. You can kind-of get this now, if you set it to 4 for 'to-keep', but zero for 'auto-download'. Then set the setting to grab more on-delete. Finally, you can download a set of 4, and every time you delete one it will grab another. Though I'm not sure which it will grab. Let me know, I'm curious (you'd think I would know, but that part is actually pretty complicated).

Thanks Marcus. I like the settings suggestions. That might just fit the bill for me.

This can now be accomplished by manipulating the new settings for auto-download and download order. Let me know if it's not. (In version 2.2.0 going out today).
