How to keep track what's downloaded

Each item should have a guid which is saved to $podcastname/.guid_cache where each line represents a downloaded podcast. The format for it is %Y_%m_%d %H:%M|GUID the date is the download time.

To migrate from 0.1 to 0.2 or later just add XXXX_XX_XX XX:XX|.

This should do the trick.

for f in $(find . -name .guid_cache); do sed -i -e 's/^/XXXX_XX_XX XX:XX|/' $f; done
