RSS Podcast Downloader (Juice Replacement?) - rich_f - 2010-12-19
I'm looking for a good bulk RSS podcast downloader that ISN'T iTunes, that just simply downloads podcasts, puts them in specified directories, and runs on Win 7 without making a mess of things.
I had been using Juice, but now it's saving all of my MP3 files with a .partial extension for no good reason. The files download just fine, and play just fine, I think the software is just kind of old and buggy. (I can't remember the last time it the devs updated it-- 3-4 years ago, maybe?)
Either way, it's annoying to have to rename a large number of files, and I've never been fond of the way it handles large numbers of downloads.
What I'm looking for is a nice, simple piece of software that not only handles basic RSS feeds, but will also download the password-protected feeds I subscribe to at JPod101.com. (This is the main reason I use Juice, and a major failing for a lot of RSS downloaders, sadly.)
I've tried searching for RSS downloaders in the past, and a lot of what I found was either junk or abandonware. Odd. Anyway, any helpful advice is appreciated.

Honestly, I use Getright (shareware) for the couple podcasts I watch/listen to. But I highly wouldn't recommend it. It's not as simple a solution as your asking for, since it's a general download accelerator. Not even sure if it can do passworded sites.
I think Winamp has a built in podcast downloader, but I've never used it.
But anyway, I'm curious about what other people use too.

Gpodder works nicely on linux, and is available for Windows too.

Please excuse my ignorance, but how does this gPodder thing work?
I actually wanted to download some free news-podcasts in mp3-format, but it seems that you can only listen to them online ... so no (obvious) download button. That's why I searched the forum for possible solutions, and it seems that this gPodder might be a good idea. So I'd like to give it a try...

I have the exact same problem. After a while I realized there are no good podcast downloaders for Windows. Every one of them is either bloated, completely unintuitive, lacks basic functionalities or just makes a huge mess when handling downloaded podcasts.
I have the same problem on Android too, Google listen makes me feel not in control of my media. Its a total mess.
I can't believe this situation since everyone is so 'podcast this, RSS that' these days but the software just isn't there. What is everyone using then? iTunes?

Yeah, there are two perfectly functional podcast aggregators for windows:
iTunes, and gPodder.
iTunes is a full media centre, gPodder is just for podcasts.
@Beine to subscribe to a podcast you need to get the RSS feed link. Then in gPodder you go to Menu > Subscriptions > Subscribe... and paste the link. Read more detailed instructions here.
@thurd it's worth remembering that podcasts are just any kind of audio/video uploaded regularly, and that they can be collected in any RSS feed reader. By far the most people use iTunes for podcasts, but you can also use a normal newsreader which supports enclosures (audio/video) like NewzCrawler or Doppler.
