It seems like I have to go into my C:\Documents and Settings\CurrentUser\Local Settings\Temp directory about every other week and clear out all the files starting with ~fs that Feed Station creates.

I use Feed Station to download my video and audio podcasts that I enjoy. It works wonderfully for that purpose. The only negative is that it creates a temporary file in the temp directory and then after moving it to the appropriate directory it doesn't delete the temporary file.

Yes, I could make a simple batch file to delete them quickly but why doesn't feed station clean up after it self? I just went through and deleted about 10 gigs of ~fs files.

I'm currently using FeedDemon Pre-Releaes 3.0.0.25 which installs Feed Station 3.0.0.25. I'll update to the newest version in a few minutes but this is something that has been going on few months. Any chance on a change in the way it operates?

Using on Windows XP with the latest updates with IE 8 and Eset Nod 32 antivirus

Sorry about that - that's a pretty silly oversight on my part. I'll make sure FeedStation does a better job cleaning up after itself in the next build.

Best,
