Sorry about that Eric, you are sitting in the middle of a range of IP
addresses I had blocked due to spam.
I have removed the block now so we can communicate.

I've tested it a lot more since reporting that bug, and I have a work-around
that I'm using at the moment (piping the results out to a perl script which
parses them for result numbers, then writes a shell script with a seperate
get command for each file on a line by itself, and a sleep command in
between each one, and then tells the user the command to type to run the
shell script) e.g.

> res 12 | ~/bin/mp3-get
now do 'load do_get'
>

The shell script looks like this:

 get 1
 ! sleep 1
 get 2
 ! sleep 1
 get 3
 ! sleep 1
 get 4
 ! sleep 1
 get 5
 ! sleep 1
 ! rm do_get

I then just go away and leave it to run and come back later and bulk delete
the ones I don't want... e.g. the selection interface is too time consuming
to use because I can't do "get 1-25" without it hanging.

It seems it's not a matter of how many numbers are requested with a get
command, it looks more like it's to do with how many mutella is trying to
add to the queue within a short period of time, because if you ran a script
with:

get 1
get 2
get 3
get 4
get 5
get 6
get 7
get 8
get 9
get 10

and no sleeps, it would be likely to hang mutella as well.

I have never *ever* had mutella come back after hanging, even if I've left
it for 24 hours. The only way to get it back is to <Ctrl-C> it and restart
it.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

John
