Installation?
    
    No installer is included in this verion.  So, create your own directory and run.

Usage?
    
    First, you will probably need to have a list of your podcasts handy or find some using the tray menu or main page links.
 
    Then just click to run, add your subscriptions.  Then I recommend one good dry run.  This will build up list of downloaded podcast up to date.  Now, next time you run, only new casts posted will download. Or, edit the "downloaded cast list" to delete casts you wish to have.   This will tell client that you do not have these.

Auto scheduling?
    
    Either run manually when ever you wish, or add to windows scheduler for daily or weekly auto run.  [start>control panel> schedule tasks > add a task > schedule regular run

Bugs and quirks?
    
    Currently downloaded list scheme is a little backwards, but not totally unintuitive.
     Not tested comprehensively with mp4 files.  (need feedback)
      No direct opml export or import.
     Need more naming schemes for your mp3s.
