I am working on a program to automatically take the first 5 newest releases off of a specified section on the site and display on a ticker on your desktop. It's still in early stages though, I've been working on it a couple of days, I still need to write the GUI, but it's gonna be pretty nifty, I'll post it when I'm done Smile.

I'm writing it in C, btw.

Just make a notifyer like g-mail notify. I was thinking of doing this about anything since it uses RSS feeds but I never got round to it Smile

I was going to use RSS feeds, but it is very limiting, and I eventually want to build in "release searching" and "torrent searching" functionality. So I wrote my own functions to parse the HTML, instead of using RSS Smile

I understand that there are RSS feeds available, but they only contain the newest releases. I want to be able to parse all the releases that are on the main page of each section on the site. I also want to be able to search the nforce database of releases, which I can only do with custom functions, unless there is something I am missing. Smile

BTW, the RSS feeds on your site aren't working correctly, it only diplays the PC Games.
