Podget isn't work on Mac OS X (Yosemite 10.10.1) because options for sed aren't supported. The initial problem is with --silent. Replacing that with -n works, but further problems arise. For debugging :
rm -r ~/.podget

OK, let me start by apologizing that this took a couple years to address but I do believe we've fixed it in the new 0.8.5 version. Basically it requires the user on Mac OS to use homebrew to install GNU Sed but from there it appears to work.
