Introduction

The RMS AutoDownloader application lets you schedule automatic downloads of sound files from RMS Player sites and forwards them to designated FTP sites in either SIT or ZIP or TGZ format. It is intended as a tool for automatically fetching and forwarding sounds to remote monitors so that they can rate those sounds using RMS Rater.
