Spin up as many threads as there are podcasts to download - which is potentially a LOT of threads. Also, progress bars don't work.

Downloading the back-issues of podcasts one at a time takes a very long time when there are 1000s of episodes and is trivially parallelisable.
This PR uses pthreads to download everything concurrently, it is much, much faster.

But I really only needed this functionality once.
I'm happy to make changes, if anyone is interested in merging this functionality.
