Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Copy the URL address of the podcast you wish to download and paste it into the text box at the top of the application. Click "Add Feed". The channel is now added to the "Channels List".

    If you cannot connect to the internet, it could be due to the fact that you have not configured your proxy server settings. Please read the following knowledgebase article to resolve this issue.

  4. Double-Click on the episode you wish to download and click on the "Download Management" tab. Here you can follow the progress of the download from the "Transfer Queue" list.

  5. Once the download has completed, the stream is added to the "Downloaded Episodes" list. Here you can keep track of the episodes you have downloaded.
