Hi, I would like to download a whole podcast also to be able to archive it later.

I was able to add it to Carcast pro as the other ones I usually listen, then erased history for that podcast and set to "unlimited" downloads but doing the setting test it says me that it would download only 100 podcasts, while that podcast is more than one thousand more or less.

Is this 100 podcast limit something changeable?
Thanks!
    Roberto.

Hi Roberto,

CarCast, if set to unlimited, should download every podcast in the feed.     Can you check and see if the feed/subscription has every podcast in it?

Hi.  

There are only 100 podcasts in this subscription/feed -->  https://www.capital.it/api/pub/v1/rss/itunes/307

I do see that many more podcasts are on the web page, but I don't see a subscription/feed link for all of them.

I'm afraid you would have to go through each page and download them one by one.     A software developer could write a script to automate this process and produce a valid feed and host the feed... but this would take some time and effort.    I'm guessing about 1 days worth of work.     

You might be able to appeal to https://www.capital.it/ to provide a "full feed" of all of the"responded zucconi podcasts"

Cheers

Hi Robert, thanks for your answer.
I have issues in understanding if I can or not download all episodes of the podcast I would like to backup.

The podcast address I always used until the author died two years ago (he was an Italian journalist) is this one:
It is still working but I can only download 100 episodes.

It is possible that they moved it leaving only 100 episodes there, I did ask to the owner of the site (it is the website of an Italian radio) and they told me to go here:

or

If I reach those pages with a browser I can see the podcast and I can manually download them, but they are about 900.
If I enter that address in Carcast, I get an error "mismatched tag" with some other detail.

Are you able to see if I am doing it wrong?
Thanks again, of course this is not urgent, have a good day.
    Roberto.

Thanks a lot! I will contact them again and ask about a full feed, hoping they have it.
In the meantime thanks again for the check!
