The idea is to adjust your keep counts so you never run out. I'll try and at least put in a free space check for the next release.

Once that happens the history will be properly populated so those will never get downloaded again. Now, if you want to pre-populate history you can do that to as I described above in the queue tab. What you can do is build the queue, then move the queue items to history. Now, those files in history won't get downloaded. FYI, I'm working on a new release with some bug fixes, a new hidden mode (like run once but you no longer get that annoying window that shows up a few seconds), and a post processing cli hook.ARoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01035010559491536662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-88669851053775964652011-10-07T06:32:58.755-06:002011-10-07T06:32:58.755-06:00"

I am using rcFeedMe to download video podcasts, then I made a php script to create a new podcast feed on my server. Now my friends can download the podcasts over the LAN into their iTunes after rcFeedMe gets them from the internet. This saves bandwidth - we just download it once from the net instead of 3-4 times.
