• Make sure that ShowRSS is up by visiting http://showrss.info/ (Catch can't function without ShowRSS).
• Open Console.app and select “Check Now” in Catch. If you see lines containing the message Could not download file (bad status code 404), please change your feed to use Magnet links by following the Configuration guide.

Catch doesn't work with “New ShowRSS”

Please update to the latest release.

Clearing “Recent Episodes”

This can't be done via the UI. To clear it, quit Catch and then run defaults delete org.giorgiocalderolla.Catch history in Terminal.

Note that Catch will have forgotten every downloaded episode, so it will attempt to download the entire contents of your feed the next time you launch it.

“Save to:” folder not working

This option is incompatible with magnets. Your torrent client will decide where the magnet link is downloaded based on its settings.
