Hi List: I can modify the urls in the subscriptions file in podracer. However, if I check poddir to see what files have been downloaded, it doesn't exist. Also if I stop a download after a couple of hours, I get the message "signal caught. exiting". Once I get to this point, there is the issue of playing the podcasts. I waded through numerous howtos & am none the wiser. Oh yes! If this has been discussed in a previous digest, please just direct me. Cheers, Deb Mayne
