The Bong Loader

BongLoader.exe is a console application written in C#. I have developed and tested it on my windows system, but thanks to Mono it runs without any changes on my Linux Box. (DS209). 

What does it do:

• it is executed via cron-job every 10 minutes.
• read settings from config file (BongLoader.exe.config)
• it checks if allready another instance of the applications is running. In this case the applications exits. (I don't want parallel downloads to minimize load on the NAS box).
• It asks the database for the next waiting item.
• If there is one it downloads the file from the Bong.TV server (http-get).
• during the downloads the progress field in the database is updated (and also the FinishDate).
• if the download was successfull the status is set to 'Finished'
• if there was an error during the download, Status is set to 'Failed' and the error(text) is written into ErrorText-field.
• the application writes to a log-file
• applications exits
