Updates, the unofficial bot that polls RSS/Atom feeds to the Status pages, RevK's blog & this ideas factory & /notice's it to #A&A can also automatically go to a link posted in a channel and feedback what it finds.
As much to some of your amusement, your attempts to get it to download large files and goto ftp:// etc. didn't quite work. It simply polls http sites for index.* and returns header/title information and can return file sizes for binary files (whatever MIME reports). This can help you better decide if material is SFW or not. It is also flood protected to a degree, so it wont spam replies back to too many simultaneous requests.
If you would like this service vote for yes. If not, ignore it or vote no.
Thanks!
