I don't know what version I was previously using of BRAG. It wouldn't automatically decode my yenc files. It would throw an error after all downloads were over and then I'd have to manually run ydecode -R * in the 'unfinished' directory. Now I've upgraded BRAG to 1.4.x and it required that I install some other decoder thing. Now it works beautifully!! I love BRAG. I am scripting it as a cron job to get all howard stern recordings each day. Keep up the great work!

Tried using the product on both Redhat and SuSe and got
the same errors on yenc files. I like the concept, etc, just
can't get it to work. Help out there.....
