Include an outdated/late/old episodes download mode
We should be able to AUTOMATICALY download late/belated episodes in a chosen feed.
As soon as we can subscribe to an youtube chanel (like http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxj9UAX4Em-Lz5btngxMVZxf_B44GETVz) or a podcast that has been discontinued, should be a great resource, if besides being able to download any new episodes, we could have an option to download any older episodes (respecting the configured order).
This could improve the use of the app to consume learning materials from youtube, as well as permits that soneone (like me) can review and revive all the podcast history.
It looks like what you're asking for is already available in the app.
Please enable the following settings:
- Settings/Download/Automatic download
- Settings/Download/Archive mode
- Settings/Download/Download older first
- Settings/Automatic cleanup/Keep at most => 2 ?
The app will then download the oldest 2 unplayed episodes for each podcasts. Then as soon as you/re done listening to one if this episode the app will delete it and download another unplayed episode.
If you only want this behavior for specific podcsts, enable this per podcast instead of globally.
If I misunderstood the feature request, please send me an email so I can gather more information (Settings/Feedback)
Thanks

Unfortunately there's nothing I can do if the podcast owner removed old episodes from his/her server. The app doesn't host anything. Only the podcast owner can change this -

I had downloaded episodes that gave me internal player errors so I deleted them planning to re-download... WHAT?? They're no longer available?!?!

I agree with this and that it's the same as Gareth Hughes request. So I'm voting for both so there combined score gets then up the list higher

I'm not actually sure from the description if this is requesting the same feature I came here to request or not, so I'm posting this here and as its own entry.
Many of the podcasts I listen to are sequential histories or narrative content. I'd love an "archive mode" for podcasts, where say, if I've already marked episode 1-39 as read, it will automatically download and queue 40 and 41. Then once I've listened to 40, it will automatically download 42 and so on. And of course, it would ignore new episode releases until I've caught up.

As far as I can see, this is the only reasonable feature that is missing from podcast addict. Great app by the way!

This is one feature that I found very useful in Beyond Pod. Great for those podcasts where you'd prefer to start from the beginning.
