Thus preventing dls completely filling up the disk, which occured when I used bashpodder. Itpodder has an internal scheduler whereas bashpodder needs crontab. Ipodder can shrink to a taskbar icon or desktop icon,at least it does in windowmaker. The down side is ipodder uses python and thus requires much more memory and processor grunt. It went like cold molasses on a p266 laptop, where it simply flies on AMD 1.8mhz. ipodder needs the gui, where as bashpodder can be run form command line. hth Russell > > -- > Terry Collins {:-)}}} > email: terryc at woa.com.au www: http://www.woa.com.au > Wombat Outdoor Adventures <Bicycles, Computers, Outdoors, Publishing> > > "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little > security will deserve neither and lose both."
