OK, I've put together a simple python downloader for the Topfield  
data at <http://home.exetel.com.au/fredm/ 
TopfieldICEGuideFetcher.html> as the daemon was heavily geared around  
regularly streaming updates, and I am using a laptop that is only  
occasionally connected to the Toppy.

It's pretty basic, requiring you to upload the files yourself, but it  
is good enough for what I require, and should also work on e.g. Linux  
as long as python is installed.
