"It does what I need it to do."

Version: gPodder 3.5

Pros

I got disgusted with the bloat of software like iTunes-- and how many intrusive processes it runs on my CPU. This program does exactly what it claims to do, which is to collect the podcasts you want to download, and it does it FAST. I don't require bling or fancy-anything, so this great little program meets my needs perfectly.

Cons

I did run into one problem, which is the format of one of the podcast feeds was unrecognized, and therefore I could not download the collection from the website. I will investigate further, but it was clear that the website was, indeed, using a different (though not unheard of) format from all the others that I had such success with.

Summary

If you want something clean, easy to use, fast, and efficient, then gPodder is the one. If you need a lot of help installing and fear a slight learning curve, then get a friend to help you out. Like all free stuff or inexpensive stuff, it's not as glamorous as Microsoft or Apple software, but this does the core functions so much better.
