It's going to switch from wget to using ecore_file_download, which eliminates the hang. At the time it was written there weren't any E libs that could download a URL, so it was an ugly workaround.
The weather module wasn't supposed to be in CVS yet, and it's really still in an infancy state. Please use with care for the time being. Any other bugs you find, please forward my way...I'm a bit busy with some other things at the moment, but hopefully I'll be able to start working on it again soon. If you don't have a reliable high speed connection, I highly recommend disabling it for the time being. -Matt --- Carsten Haitzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 04 Aug 2005 10:52:21 +1000 Dan > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled: > > > Greetings. > > > > I've noticed that the weather module for E17 > blocks E while updating - > > ie E appears 'locked' while the weather module is > downloading.
