Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I read more about it?

Read Carl Franklin's PwopCatcher Blog Post and subscribe to the PwopCatcher feed.

Is it free?

Yes. 100% Free

What are the requirements?

Windows 2000 or later is required. The Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is required. If your machine already runs slow because you don't have enough RAM, installing PwopCatcher won't make it run any faster. Disk space is minimal, but if you're downloading podcasts you shouldn't be worried about disk space. Let's see... you should have an Internet connection. If we think of anything else we'll let you know.

Is installation really painless?

Yes! .NET 2.0 introduces a technology called ClickOnce, in which you can install the .NET Framework if you don't already have it, and install the app from a web page in just a few minutes. Every time you run the app it will check for updates (unless you don't have an Internet connection). If an update is available you can install it and run it right then and there. If there is a problem with the current version you can roll back to the previous version using the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs applet. It's easy!

Does it support BitTorrent

Yes! PwopCatcher installs uTorrent, a small (155K) BitTorrent app that works seamlessly with PwopCatcher.
