I wonder if the ddidownloader could be altered to fetch specific sections, so that it doesn't have to run the whole thing all the time.
I have some other ideas for making it more fault tolerant too.
I'd love to see the api or feed spec for their web service.
Hey Lone Wolf guys, email me if you want some help rewriting the downloader?
And no, I'm not being mean, just saying you probably have more important things to be working on, right? I'd be more than willing to take a crack at it. I can work with PHP, Java or C++.
