They *should* be fine, but I haven't run them in a few weeks so I can't promise. Sorry. BTW,

I uploaded (just) the executables to here: http:\\www.LibertyReach.com\Distributions\Feed.zip You must run both the FeedManager.exe and FeedClient.exe. In order to start scraping, you drag-and-drop an RSS or ATOM feed pointer. Beware that some feeds are ill-formed, etc., so the application will complain when it sees a bad one, but you can just ignore the complaints. Good luck. David,

I also wasn't expecting a reply so it was a nice surprise to see one, thanks. I look forward to trying your tool. Best Regards, David Thanks Brainrack,

I will upload a new zip file when I get back to the US early next week. Check back in a few days. I'll get it done by Wednesday 10 Sept at the latest. I've used the app to download a few dozen gigabytes of news articles in the last couple months. If you are looking to create a text database, it seems to be working pretty well... Dave,

Could you make the feed man excutable/directory available please. Thanks, Dave Chan Hi,
