Continuously Downloading Enclosures

Taken from http://www.rssbandit.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2349

Hi,

First time user, I'm wanting to use RSS Bandit primarily for podcasts, to download to a directory that autosyncs with my mp3 player. Im having trouble getting the first podcast feed to work.

I set up 'This Week in Tech' with this feed URL: (http://leoville.tv/podcasts/twit.xml). The update frequency is 60 mins, the 'Remove Items' setting is 21 days. The 'Auto download attachments' is checked on. 'Mark items as read on exiting feed' is off.

Additionally, in the RSS Bandit tool options I have 'Initiate download feeds on startup' enabled, and I have 'Automatically download attachments' turned on as well. The 'Download Attachments To' box has a specific directory specified.

Im running Vista, with RSS Bandit v1.6.0.2.

When I setup the feed the interface shows only the last three feeds, on 3/30, 3/23, and 3/16. However every time I open RSS Bandit it re-downloads ALL available feeds for this podcast, which is the last 20 files. It restarts every time RSS Bandit opens.

So, here are my questions:

1. Why do I only see 3 headlines in the RSS Bandit interface when it downloads the last 20 attachments?
2. Why does it continue to re-download attachments it has already downloaded?
3. What is the right way to watch online download activity? I see the 'Network Connection State...' but Im looking for more detail.

Thanks all for your help!

Mark
