Not a good first experience with RSS (Win98SE, Fx 2.0.0.8,
PII-266). Complicated, quirky, confusing. Things jump
around and disappear, mouse interaction sometimes goes
bonkers. Lack of manual control, too automatic. Not usable
on dialup -- will consume the bandwidth, doing who knows
what. This tool was the only way to get a podcast of mp3!
But the final solution was to just view the xml source of
the RSS, find the mp3 location, and use Opera download
manager to get that one giant file. Maybe someone could use
the infoRSS source to make a simpler, all-manual tool that
lets you select all downloads from easy menus, would never
use bandwidth except by user choice/command?
Does not seem "lightweight" -- slow to respond
on a low-end computer.
