Alasdair, May I suggest another aspect here. There are people (admittedly
we are an endangered species now!) still on a dial up connection. What I
do with a program like Juice is to choose the option to download only one of
my subscribed podcasts. Furthermore, the first time I do so I look carefully
at all the episodes and change to skipped any which are not of particular
interest. The download size becomes more manageable that way.
Subsequently when I choose to download from that particular podcast I just
get the new material.
Even now that I understand how Accessible Podcast Downloader is
designed, I cannot see how I can really use it without having downloads
going on almost all day.
