Thanks for the reply, Geoff! We are using the RRAbuntu version that has Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS and Rivendell 1.7.1
I will look into Podget, as that would be wonderful to automate downloads as well as trying to figure out how to make drop boxes work for us. I'm not super knowledgeable about *nix things but am comfortable using the command line. We've got a few friends who are much more knowledgeable about this stuff and I'm sure they can help too. So, if you have any tips on setting things up, scripts or such that you're willing to share, that would be wonderful!
