We receive constant requests for updates on updates to Graboid. When is the next version coming out? When will there be a version for Macs? How can I get action figures from my favourite shows?
We can’t say when we’ll have a Mac version, sorry. As we do say (often), we’re all Mac users at Graboid, and it kills us that Windows has so much market share that we have to focus on that application for now.
We’re working feverishly on the next version of Graboid. The reason there haven’t been any updates for a while is that the app is being re-developed with a new and improved architecture, that will let us make future changes more rapidly, including such things as versions for other operating systems. We’ll publish a release date for the new version once it is in the final stage of testing. It will release before the end of November, and perhaps much sooner.
Another bit of news – we’ll soon be linking to more content servers. This will not affect the broader selection of video content, but it will make that content more reliable, and will increase transmission speed for many of you with fast connections.
We realize that without dates attached, this news is a a bit less news-like. However, we thought you’d like to know that change is afoot. If you have requests for features you think would be nice, please post here. And don’t bother posting “make it work better”. We know that one.

An update would be nice especially if I don’t end up losing half of my bandwidth to useless files.
Would reducing the amount of time spent processing files once they’ve finished downloading be a possibility? I have a 2.5GHz processor with 512Mb DDR RAM and it takes about 5-10 minutes of 100% CPU usage to process an 800Mb movie. A bit of a sod when I’m playing a game with Graboid running in the background!
Adding a search preference for selecting a language you want , to minimalize search returns .
I LOVE THIS SITE!
I was looking for Sargent York , could you add that one.?
And how about Abbot and Costello’s Hold That Ghost I Have Looked everywhere for it And Cant Find it Anywhere. I think it is there best, but the networks never play it anymore.

It’ll be nice if you can differentiate ordinary files from actual video before download.
well, if you got time on your hands, make graboid look more flashy
thanks for being so shady to the early adopters of this program.
cancelling accounts due to inactivity, when the inactivity has been maybe a month?
awesome.
How about a file health status bar like on bit torrent, and lots more user options like being able to pick which player you use, you kow stuff to MAKE IT WORK!!! I can’t help feeling sorry for t.v links though they must of had it coming, i have a hunch that there’s some sort of customer tracking going on from the BIG MULTI-NATIONALS. Did you hear about the woman recently procicuted in the states for downloading an album when she had already download thousands. They charged her $9000 per track, it is very interesting how it went down. She used Kazza i thinkl to get a new album and thats when they got her. Do you think if you agree to download terms on “Offical” sites they can bounce/cookie/track where else you go regularly? I’m saying this cause i feel resposible for t.v links, silly i know but microsoft and Norton anti virus are nutorious for being nosey little &*%^s! Graboid, talk to me….
[moderator: we don't think you were single-handedly responsible for the downfall of tv-links.]
Another thought is to have Graboid link up to freeview DVB-T etc…..And or have someway incorperate file compression for LARGE files say 8GB – 4GB??? oR how about Graboid Hving the Codecs to play the files downloadededed, what i want to see is an all inclusive, simple but expandable entertainment workstation for free, THANX
[moderator: we'll do as much as we can, and the application will continue to get better, but please recognize that we're not responsible for the video files themselves, and we can't control the content or encoding of those files.]
i really think you should show what kind of file the vids are in the app, it would make things easier
can you add close caption to the player.
