Version: Bitscast 0.4.3

"Truely Awful"

by jimjam23456 on February 25, 2006

Pros: Well it was free....

Cons: Very basic software, very little indication of when its atually doing anything, you usually have no idea if its downloading or not - it never tells you! There is a download manager function, but there really should be some indication that it is actually doing what you asked without having to open this (often it just ignores you, depending on the sate of the podcast server you are trying to download). This was the first podcast software I tried, it lasted about 3 days and then I realised there are so many better examples out there!
