Does anyone use a podcatcher program to download multiple podcasts at a time?

I'm currently tryin out jPodder and it seems worthless. I'm trying to delete the preset podcasts and it keeps locking up on me. Any suggestions?

Well, I tried one called Juice that seemed to work ok, but it still seemed rather cumbersome.

What I ended up using was just the feeds part of IE7. When you subscribe to a feed, you can go to the properties of that feed and tell it to download any media files that are attatched to that feed. Seems to work ok, however, it lacks any kind of download progress bar, and rather just tells you if the file is (downloaded) or (pending).

You can check this folder for the actual files:
C:\Documents and Settings\{your username}\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Enclosure

I've been using Juice (http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php), for several years now and haven't had any problems with it. I have it set up to check for feeds when I open it and automatically begin downloading. All of the podcasts are stored in a "My Received Podcasts" folder in My Documents, with each different podcast under it's own folder.

Currently most of the podcasts I am downloading are from twit.tv (mostly tech podcasts). I also get the olivetreeviews.org and the khouse.org 66/40 podcast. I am searching for more christian and prophecy related podcasts, so if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
