Download Sick Beard build 473 alpha

The developers behind Sick Beard have released build 473 of their program. Sick Beard can keep an eye on when new episodes of your favorite TV series are available and if there are better quality episodes to be found. In addition, it can also bring some uniformity in the naming and it is possible to download episodes from usenet and to a lesser extent via BitTorrent. The program is controlled from a web browser and can therefore be used on any operating system. Development is still at an early stage and the program is still offered as alpha. The changelog for this release looks like this:

• Changed sickbeard’s doctype from HTML 4.0 to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Eventually I’d like to get the code over to XHTML 1.0 Strict but there is plenty of things to fix just going to Transitional. The code is already closer to being xhtml valid than it was html 4.0 valid. For example, using the short hand method to end tags /> was already heavily used.
