The answer is "sort of". I've got some general ideas. Since I'm still getting my feet wet with Cocoa, I still have a hard time gauging how long some things will take. Because of that, it's probably not wise to commit to anything yet. Let me get to a point that I feel comfortable with - I'lll stamp it 1.0 and then I'll probably start talking about future features.

Right now I just have no bandwidth to document how my internal flickr kit works - and I'm hesitant to just put it out there without any documentation whatsoever. heipei,

I already had a CacheManager class where I encapsulated the knowledge of how to take some photo data and figure out what the cache filename was and where it was on disk. It works both ways - it will fetch data from the cache for you, and save data to the cache for you. I'm just adding to that functionality - adding priorities, etc. :) That’s pretty much exactly wat I’ve got, Pete.

Seems like it would be straighforward to create what would essentially be a cache manager class which would manage the downloads for you as well as providing priority scemantics.. That way you could submit jobs to your cache manager with a priority, it would track all of the jobs in the queue and ensure that the highest priority downloads happen first... Fire and forget threading works up to a point but without some way of throttling the threads you spawn you'll quickly bring your system to its knees and impact responsivenes... Have fun! :) p Those rules sound reasonable to me… Seems like it would be straighforward to create what would essentially be a cache manager class which would manage the downloads for you as well as providing priority scemantics..
