infoRSS

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

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.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.2).
