Hi Michael,
I'm wondering if there are that many downloads, and they are listed by day,
couldn't one mark the download desired and ignore the others? I don't
think, by default, the Icon would mark more than 25 of the most recent
downloads anyway. Just a thought, although your point is well-taken.
Les

Subject: Be careful! RE: [icon-discuss] Re: rss and podcasts
Hello Listers,
This note is in response to a message by Richard Ehrler, the original of
which I unfortunately deleted. While Richard's message was helpful, I urge
a little bit of caution when it comes to the ACB Radio feed he sited.
Richard's message reads in part:
"As far as Main Menu goes, you
can still hear the program but you need to use the ACB Radio replay feed
address for the Wednesday replay because they don't seem to be posting to
the Main Menu and Main Menu Live feed addresses right now. And the Wednesday
replay is indeed the correct file because they post the Tuesday night show
as a Wednesday replay file. The feed address for replay is:
http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=replay
These replay files are much larger than just the Main Menu and Live program
files because they contain other programs after Main Menu airs. They range
in play time from around three hours to as much as five hours per day but
the Main Menu and Live program is generally just the first two hours of the
file."
When I pasted Richard's suggested feed into my Juice podcatcher, I
discovered some time into the download process that not only was I getting
Wednesday's feeds but, rather, feeds from every day of the week except
Monday. Juice notified me that I had some 131 downloads in the queue,
something which rarely, if ever, happens under normal circumstances.
This is not intended as criticism, just a word of caution. The feed cited
in the posting is for every day of the week's programs except Monday.
My best to all of you from rainy, dreary Vienna, Austria,
Mike
