New podcatching client. . . NuParadigm DrizzleCast

Shawn Miller's company has produced a new podcast download tool uses the built-in Windows Background Intelligent Transfer Service otherwise known as BITS

http://www.nuparadigm.com/Products/Toys/

The beauty of using BITS is that it automatically throttles back on network activity when you, the human, activate something that performs network activity and then ramps back up again when you're idle.

 

Bonus note: It also restarts transfers interrupted in the middle so it's perfect for road warriors like me.

 

The UI is a bit sparse but there are serious possibilities here!

 

TechPodcasts.com. . . www.techpodcasts.com

Is up!  I've been working with this project for a while and then got sucked into the great black hole known as the three-headed-deadline-travel-meetings monster.

 

I just went to visit and see how things are progressing and lo-and-behold it's ALIVE!

 

You've got to check it out!

 

Podcast of the day:

eDave.org Security News

The world we live in is, unfortunately, now filled with people who want to take advantage of innocent users.  So security is a must topic for everybody.

 

Manic Minute Recommendation: You need to know this stuf

 

And that's your Manic Minute for February 23rd, 2005
