  • Download and keep all episodes ever offered by a podcast feed, even though the feed only shows a few episodes at a time.
  • Download episodes manually or on a time schedule.
  • Creates readable file names for episodes based on the episode title.
  • Episodes can be saved on a USB drive or network shared folder.
  • Search episodes in all feeds by text, dates or sizes; use logical expressions to combine search conditions.
  • Manages disk space used by the downloaded episodes.
  • Episode cleanup rules determine which episodes are kept during catch-up, and how much disk space is available for each feed (or for all feeds).
  • The Feed Journal shows a detailed list of all feeds polled and episodes downloaded, and the progress of each poll and download.
  • PodSilo is efficient and performs well even with thousands of feeds!
  • Try PodSilo free for 60 days!
