    AntennaPod is great but just…doesn’t work.

    All I need a podcast app to do is to auto download my podcasts so that they’re ready to listen to when I don’t have good service. And I need it to not take up large chunks of storage with several month old shows I never listened to. AntennaPod can’t do it.

    Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.

        Works great for me too and has tons of options and flexibility.

        No clue what they’re talking about other than they clearly don’t like FOSS:
        Like most FOSS software, it’s ugly and doesn’t work.

        For me, I wouldn’t say it’s ugly either, FWIW

        Yes, I am aware that in order to download automatically that I have to enable auto download. It doesn’t do anything.

      You can literally accomplish your use case with AntennaPod. You clearly have some issue with FOSS though.

        I’m “literally” telling you that I can’t. You “clearly” have a blind eye for FOSS.

          I can do it, but you can’t?

          Check the global app settings. Under Network you can limit your total downloads (Automatic Downloads). For example, I have it limited to 10 downloaded at a time. See if that helps you out.
