It's also sourced from the bash script so grep doesn't need to be called from sub shells for each variable. I also set it to be able to limit the download speed of each feed as well as limit the number of feeds that will download at the same time. I replaced some sed & cut commands with bash parameter substitution as it's slightly faster. Not much but measurable. I also added the ability to set individual feeds to "catchup mode" indefinitely, so you can take a break from a feed but keep it's log up to date. Just add a "1" to the front of a feed address in .bashpodder like this 1http://revision3.com/bytejacker/feed/Xvid-Large I posted just the diff file so you can better see what changes I made. That way you can more easily pick what you do and do not want to use. I hope it's clear enough from my slightly inadequate description combined with the diff file I linked to. Let me know if it sounds too insane! I made a few more changes to the script. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1055489/scripts/bashpodder.diff The config file is now generated on first run.
