Automatic Download Manager
Iâm looking for a program that can automatically download audio files from the Internet. It needs to save them on a computer thatâs on our network so that Raduga can access it at the appropriate time. The scenario is as follows: We are getting our weather forecasts via email attachments. Currently Iâm manually downloading the file and inserting it into the on air computer, using the same name as the previous version for the appropriate day (i.e.: Wednesday Weather). This simply overwrites the existing file, so I donât have to reprogram Raduga. At the appropriate times on Wednesday, Raduga dutifully plays the file called âWednesday Weather.â This works fine, but it involves human intervention to do the download. I need to automate the process. Some recommended a download manager program called Gozilla. It looks like it might work, but reviews of it donât sound very encouraging. It seems that it has a reputation of being next to impossible to remove from your computer if you donât like it. Worse yet, the number one reason for not liking it is the fact that it seems to go seek out pop ups and other spam to put in your computer. That doesnât sound good. Any suggestions? I think this would be a very handy feature for all Raduga users.
