amarok changing timestamps on netcasts
 

I'm using Amarok 2.4.0 wind KDE 4.6.2 on Kubuntu 11.04.

By default Amarok stores netcasts I download in
~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/podcasts/NAME-of-NETCAST. For some reason, it
changes the timestamp on some of the saved files every day. This
results in my backups picking them up every day. All of the files dated
"2011-09-15 19:25" in this list had their timestamps updated at the same
time for no apparent reason even though most of them were downloaded
weeks or months ago. Any ideas?

Are you sure that amarok isn't downloading them every time?

Now that's a good question but I'm not quite sure how to figure it
out. Amarok has marked these episodes as downloaded already so I don't
know why it would download them again. If I understand this output
correctly, I downloaded the file on the 20th and the time stamp was
changed for no apparent reason today but the file is still 6 days old
and not a new file. Also, I manually download these files via a
secondary-click in Amarok. Amarok is configured to automatically scan
for updates to this netcast but not to download them.

Hmm.* Has the md5sum changed?* It's possible that the file has changed on the server, though unlikely.

You can also look at how many bytes get transfered.* "ifconfig eth0" tells you how many bytes have been transmitted and received.* If you run it before and after, while doing nothing else, you should get a rough count of home many bytes really were received.* If this is less than the file size the it didn't really download the file.

rough count of home many bytes really were received. If this is less

I'll check the md5sums.

I can't use the bytes from ifconfig though. I have no idea when
Amarok will change the time stamps, it's not the same time every day,
and there's a lot of network use other than Amarok.
