Hello James,
I have attempted to address your second concern regarding frequently updated feeds by introducing an --itemsize option in version 0.4.0.
This option sets a minimum post size; if a downloaded post is smaller than this value, than additional posts are downloaded from the same feed, for example when using the "new" strategy.

Hello James,
I agree with your observation that the strategies that I currently provide work best when all podcasters release shows with the same frequency. I probably need to introduce a new time-aware download strategy (perhaps "aged" with a time parameter) to fix this. Let me think about it.
Regarding your "per podcast download strategy" request: I think that a time-aware download strategy would offset (if not obviate) the need for such a feature.
Anyway, thanks for your constructive comments and your last patch which I have included in today's 0.2.1 release.

hi,
there are a couple of things that i would love to see in podcatcher.
firstly, i'd like to be able to specify the download strategy per-podcast in the opml file, as well as on the command line.
secondly, i'd like to be able to specify a time limit with the download strategy (eg. download all new podcasts as long as they are no older than a week). i often find i'm missing podcasts on feeds like openpodcast.org that have many posts per day, but i don't want to resort to back_catalog strategy and find it downloading hundreds of ancient mp3s.
thanks.
