I've launched the beta version 1.1 of File:Snatcher on my website. It's written in DarkBasicPro and uses many of the native windows dll's to drive it.

File:Snatcher is a strange little utility that lets you search, watch and stream movies, music and any other files from link farm websites or file list sites, direct to your pc without ever having to launch a browser or visit the website.
Basically, if you visit a regular linkfarm site (for example a website that contains direct links to daily fonts, movie clips or music) then this utility will allow you to safely download the files from the 'genuine' links these pages advertise, and "experience" them in a single continous stream, while avoiding all the dead links, pop-ups, spyware and other junk they often try and highjack your pc with.
How it works:
You feed it a list of linkfarm sites into the database e.g. http://www.dailylinkfarmmovies.com/main.html then perform a search for links (leaving the search blank returns all files), then perform a search for files on these links, and press play and sit back and watch or listen to a continous stream of safe content.
This program still has a fair few kinks to work out (including a better help file), and has now been in development for over a year, but I'm making progress, and I've had some great results from it. Recently I fed it a list of font archive pages (e.g. \fontsA.html,\fontsB.html,...) and I streamed their entire archive to my PC in under 30 minutes. Over 4400 fonts.
Have fun and experiment with it. If you CAN get to grips with the funky interface then it CAN prodce some great results.
If you read the included help file you'll find full instructions, a tutorial and a list of known bugs and please let me know if it works for you. I'm sure its gonna do some strange things but I need feedback to help finish this.
Thanks
