Re: [addon] BTV Podcatcher

Crap. Podcatcher went nuts last night and downloaded 5 GB of data.

I do love the addon but I have a couple of suggestions.

1. update the first post. I see the file there is much older then the one a couple pages back. I don't know what one I had. I know I've updated it since the first one but I'm not sure if I was using the newest one.

2. put version numbers in your zip name. It would make it simpler.

3. keep a record of file names that podcatcher has already downloaded so they are not downloaded again automatically by podcatcher of something screws up with the feed. This would prevent what happened to me last night.


I think its a feed issue. My feeds are unreachable right now. I can't reach them manually either. I don't know how you determine if something is new but I think if the feed screws up then podcatcher gets confused and downloads everything thinking its new content.


The feeds I'm currently using are

http://feeds.feedburner.com/cnet/top5
http://revision3.com/tekzilla/feed/xvid-large
http://revision3.com/scamschool/feed/xvid-large/

Its the two revision3 ones that podcatcher went nuts on. The cnet one is fine.
