After spending a lot of time with youtube cache, now I am trying to devote some time to update intelligentmirror with required features and enhancements that youtube cache already enjoys. In the same direction here is version 0.5 of intelligentmirror.

Improvements

• Added max_parallel_downloads options to controll the maximum threading fetching from upstream to cache the packages.
• Fine grained control on logging via max_logfile_size and max_logfile_backups option.
• Added setup script to help you install intelligentmirror. No need to execute commands one by one for installation. Just run

 [root@localhost]# python setup.py install [ENTER]

• Added update script (update-im). So in case you decide to change the locations for caching rpm/deb packages, just run

 [root@localhost]# update-im [ENTER]

OR

 [root@localhost]# /usr/sbin/update-im [ENTER]

• Download scheduler similar to youtube cache is added to facilitate the download queing in case of large number of requests.
• More informative logging.
• cache.log is not flooding anymore with XMLRPC logs and python tracebacks.
• Added extensive exception handling thoughout the program.
