[updated 2006]
this version of bashpodder is only kept around for historical reasons.
If you are looking for a command-line podcatcher that supports bittorrent then try Peapod. This is superior in every way to bashpodder and is being actively maintained.
I’ve put a version of bashpodder.shell up on the site. This one will
fetch podcasts from bittorent as well as http and ftp, and then write
the podcast.m3u once it’s done.
