Re: How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders


Something that I should have indicated a few weeks ago - simultaneous downloads (ie, downloading one show, then another - before the first has finished its download) has a problem.

It just bit me when using the latest SBSNapper - it is the same with the iViewNapper.

Problem: the SAME show can be downloaded twice (or more), if you're a heavy clicker (or forget).

It seems that the client downloader process (curl.exe, or rtmpdump.exe) is invoked and runs, but at the file system level there is only a single FLV / MP4 file created.

I don't know how Windows and those executables managae that, but it happens.

The only problem that I can see is that you will use up your Quota from your ISP. The final video works OK.

I think this is the same with p7Napper, too.

(something for mce to do in his spare time )
