Recommendations for a good podcast catcher?

[Pat Farrell]

I've been using Miro for ages. Used it on assorted Linux systems and for the past 18+ months on my OS-X system. But recent releases are much less stable. It seems to be written in Java in a way that when it gets wrapped around its axle, it slows down my Netbeans Java development cycle. I can't afford this.

I want to subscribe to both video and audio podcasts using the usual RSS feed structure. I want it to automatically download the podcasts whenever they are available.

Free and Open source is ideal, but I'm willing to pay a small amount of real money for this.
