plus on est de fous

My lamer open source program is called orm (http://orm.berlios.de); it's a podcatcher, a program to retrieve podcasts. Quickly I found out that it needed to be multi-threaded to fetch several podcast at a time. So I tried something with python, using the Python Cookbook ... it works, but there's a problem when I want to stop it... thread programming is hard, I need to improve in this field :)

Here are good reason to use threads ...

And this: mt-daapd is another program which is using those pthreads, and let you export your Music to an iTunes on your local network from a Unix box.
