I suspect the flakiness is more related to server availability than it is with mythweather. I have broadband and still often have problems getting weather data. I would prefer if mythweather made it easier to "abort" a slow in-progress download of weather data. Currently, AFAICT, you have to wait for it to pop up the dialog asking whether or not you want to try again with an increased timeout. > Is there any way to tune mythweather better for dial-up, maybe make > the timeouts longer.

If everyone crons mythweather just so it's handy for the few times they actually look at the data, then the mythweather server (whatever it is) will just be overloaded for no good reason. --Rob
