# castget will by default use the filnames that appear in the RSS feed.
# This does not work if, for example, the RSS feed uses the same filename
# for all files. You can use "filename" to specify a filename pattern
# for saving files. See See castgetrc(5) for a list of supported patterns.
# Be careful which patterns you use --- including the raw title from the
# RSS feed, for example, may not be a good idea.
