Rust rewrite of ipodderx-core: cargo project, pinned dependency set, MIT license carrying the original 2010 copyright, README lineage note, and PROGRESS.md as the resumable build record. Dependency tree is rustls-only: librqbit's default features pull in native-tls and an OpenSSL sha1 backend, so it is built with rust-tls.

ipodderx-rs
A headless podcatcher: scans RSS/Atom feeds, downloads enclosures (HTTP and BitTorrent), files them into per-feed folders, and reaps old episodes to stay under a disk quota. Runs as a one-shot CLI or as a daemon with a Unix-socket JSON event stream for a UI to attach to.
Lineage
This is a modern Rust rewrite of ipodderx-core, the Python 2 engine behind iPodderX (2004-2008, Ray Slakinski & August Trometer), which was open-sourced under the MIT License in 2010.
What carries over: the feed scan and TTL handling, GUID/URL dedupe, per-feed and per-date download folders, keyword filters, the explicit-content filter, torrent enclosures, and "SmartSpace" — the oldest-first disk quota reaper.
What does not: iTunes and iPhoto export via AppleScript, text-to-speech enclosures, the Windows
WMP/COM paths, XML plists and Python pickles for state, the directory.iPodderX.com survey ping,
3DES-encrypted preferences, and the printMSG stdout protocol (replaced by a JSON-lines socket).
Status
Under construction. See PROGRESS.md for what works today.
Configuration
~/.config/ipx/config.toml, state in ~/.local/share/ipx/state.db. See PROGRESS.md until the
usage section lands.
