Would anyone be interested in a desktop binary (windows) that imports a list of urls, then (by way of IE) fetches PR for each ?
It acts as a local proxy intercepting queries etc (that way it can handle page requests with a 200 OK but no content, while forwarding toolbar requests on to the relevant servers and processing throughput).
The advantage is mainly speed, and very little traffic (reads: cheaper if you're paying by the packet etc).. and no French !
I did an Alpha test on such a tool last night, and pulled around 1000 queries in 5 mins (remember it's not multithreaded, just driving a single instance of IE initially - so it's not too bad).
Oh, did I mention the MAC VERSION ? - It'll be dependant on either exports from the windows tool, or a windows service, but either way, MAC users won't be completely left out.. :)
Any feature requests would be welcome too at this point. At present, it's just a quick way to retrieve PR en masse (and of course DMOZ category).
I'll be posting the alpha dload url within the next few days if ppl show interest.
