Greetings,
I recently tried to use FeedStation for the first time, but unless I missed an options dialog it seems very limited in functionality, or at least intended for something different than what I expected?
The biggest problem I've run into is the inability (that I can find) to limit the number of enclosures to keep for a specific feed. I'd like to only keep the last 3, or 5, or 30, or whatever enclosures for each of the feeds I have set to automatically download. This would let the software take care of itself without me having to worry about filling up a hard drive. And being able to set a total size limit, or per feed size limit would be handy too.
Other stuff I'd like to see is more advanced synchronization features, bittorrent downloads, cleanup of old episodes, deletion of episodes after synching, grouping of the queue by feed, and everything else implemented in a rich podcatcher.
Except I'm not sure FeedStation is supposed to be a full-featured podcatcher? The only reason I'm trying to use it as such is because I REALLY like having all my feeds in one central place that I can access with multiple clients. If you really wanted to be clever you could apply the standard Newsgator functionality (read once, gets marked as read on for all clients ie synchronization) to podcasts, though I'm not sure how this would work/look.
Am I trying to use FeedStation for something it's not intended for, in which case I need to find another client, or is the development just really behind schedule?
Thanks for your help,
Drew
