localcast is designed for Mac users who want to be
able to resume podcast downloads after an error or
unexpected sleep, something that iTunes cannot do
by itself. Systems without iTunes can use localcast as an alternative to bashpodder.
localcast depends on Mac OS X personal Web
sharing and on wget. With localcast, interrupted
downloads can be resumed, because wget fetches the
podcasts. Podcasts appear fully integrated in
iTunes just as if localcast was not in use.
