Considering a MacOS X Client

Ah ok, well I'll have to use the UDP API then, but I still think UDP isn't fit for a task like this (but it does save a little bandwidth, thats true)

I'll make a post in the 'UDP API Client' thread

I definitely *want* to use the UDP API. But I am unsure it provides enough functionality to be useful.

The biggest problem I have is with the 24 hour delay before changes are reflected. Exp, is this still the case? I remember your changelog said you switched caching systems. Maybe (hopefully) this is no longer a problem.

Second, I'd really like to display a user's entire mylist, but as I understand the API, can only request individual files that are already known about. Any plans/possibility of this appearing in the future?

The UDP API doesn't support this atm.
And adding it wouldn't be easy bc UDP just can't handle large transfers.

BYe!

After talking to PetriW for a few minutes, well... I think I take back what I said.

At least for now.

Oh well. I'd probably be ok with a small udp client. Always online, so no need for a local copy yet.
