Thanks Matthew! However bidwatcher has a problem with some auctions (not being able to get the data for them) that is being worked on, and if you want the very latest, you have to get the sources by CVS from sourceforge.net and build it yourself. (Keeping up with changes outside of releases is not the porter's responsiblity.) It's useful if you do this to build the FreeBSD port first so all the dependencies (and it has a lot) get installed. It's interesting that bidwatcher is being run on a couple of Linux servers and (on one of them at least) available "free" but with a fee for each auction on which the bidder wins, so the bidwatcher program (which snipes, or bids in the last few seconds of the auction) is running on the server and the user has a Windows interface from a browser.
