You know, I understand where your coming from, but guess what... dreamhost for me has lived to their end of the bargin. I even had one of their techs that spent personal time rewritting codes for me and it was my own coding, nothing they were obligated to. My site is always up and dl's have been fast.
I've been with several crappy host (i.e Powweb - was good back before 2007 - before they was taken over by someone else) and use to pull hairs over nothing. Everything is always up and if you have issues, they always have that 97 day get your money back thing. I'm sorry if I'm defending them, but it's like buying a brand new Mustang for $5000 bucks and in the end, it drives like any other Mustang
Another message of help:
Part I:
Hello,
I've gone to the URL (xxxx) and this seems to work best when run through a web
browser.
I wrote a webpage and some software a few months ago that I think would
really help you ( It's free ) and make this much easier for you to do.
You can find step by step instructions here:

Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks!

Part II:
The problem was that the program was not chmod u+x'ed, I've done this,
and it runs. It looks like the php page is checking a licence, but my
program will not follow the link. Does this link need to be followed? I
can add code to support this. but if it's not a requirement for your cronjob
I'm less inclined to recode that script.
Thanks!
Mike J
