Torrent based Podcasts

Thu Oct 11, 2007 9:07 pm
Hi all,

I may be missing the obvious here - be gentle, I'm trying to get podcasts that are served via torrents in to Amarok. I've run a few searches and also searched the forums here but have not been able to find any how tos.

Has anyone got this working, if so care to point me in the direction of instructions?

Cheers, Dan.

Well, Amarok is not a Bittorrent client. So it won't be able to do the downloading by itself; you will have to use an external tool, and then play the files locally with Amarok.

Thanks, I understood that it wasn't a bittorrent client, I just hoped that it may be able to manage subscriptions to normal podcasts and those that are supplied by torrent files.

Is there any intention to include this functionality in the future?

Has anyone else got a working solution that they would recommend?

Request for torrent support from me too.

If Amarok doesn't the competition will.

The problem being...? The feature is not something that has to be exclusive to one app or another.
