Principally supports having a cache directory that consists of subtrees from bittorrent downloads. Instructions for the torrent feed can be found at http://draves.org/blog/archives/000379.html. Just have your torrents moved into the cache directory on completion.

Cleaner loop selection instigated from commentary issued by: Michael Hohimer in http://draves.org/HyperNews/get.cgi/flame/2506.html Tom Lane in http://draves.org/HyperNews/get.cgi/flame/2506/1.html

Code base cleaned up in preparation for 2.7--much of the source closer to reference C code by Spot.

Animation frame selection now controlled by ScreenSaverView's -animateOneFrame method instead of using additional timers for MPEG2View's control.

Additional updates for Apple IR Remote.

Replaced CURLHandle with NSURLConnection api to support proxy configurations. Depending on your site configuration\ , you may need to add /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app to your http\ proxy keychain.
