Videocache 1.9.5 is available now. This version improves support for logging and fixes video caching problems for various sites like Vimeo, Break, Tube8 etc due to change in URL patterns. Also, from this version onwards, UrlGrabber has been removed from dependencies. Check Changelog for details. If you have purchased version 1.9.x previously, you can claim free upgrade by contacting using Contact Link. Please mention the email address using which you purchased Videocache. New users proceed to download page right now, secure your copy and enjoy caching :-)
Hi :)
Size limits are only being checked in cache_video, and not also in download_from_source - this means that if one limits the number of max_parallel_downloads, a video could be queued while the directory still has space, but actually downloaded when the directory is over the max size.

Hi Imriz!
Fixed upstream. Thanks for reporting. Thats was a nice observation.
PS : Why don't you register. I hope Anonymous is not a name you like :P
Imriz,
Another use reported similar problem with cache size calculating with 1.3TB cache. I'll have to work on. May be we can do it periodically and cache the results for some time.
Please post your suggestions for the same.
Thank You!
LOL!! I am also a system administrator at my university but not the UNIX one :) We use RHEL/CentOS. But agreed to "Sysadmins are lazy ;)". I would love to see your videocache stats in statistics forum :D
