I'm still testing some changes to BottomFeeder, but expect to have an update out this week. This is where I'll be marking a break between the release (3.6) stream and the dev (towards 3.7) stream. I'll be adding the ability to have BottomFeeder run the update loop using a configurable number of threads (instead of the single threaded loop it now uses). There will be a limit - if you subscribe to as many feeds as I do, then having a thread per feed update would just torch your bandwidth and likely result in most of the attempted http queries timing out. I'll have a dev build for that up soon; I have to finish off some bug fixes to the NC download application first though. Stay tuned.
