    As a result of my BPM or Bukkit Package Manager project (may or may not release it) and the CSV it exports every 6 hours, I've come up with a lightning fast PHP based script that parses that CSV file directly on the Apache web server. I decided to create this for my personal use and for the public as an alternative to plugins.bukkit.org because I prefer great performance over looks and to be able to change features wherever needed and at any time I like. Each page displays 100 plugins at a time. Also, there is a search feature built into the script that allows you to use OR, AND, Exact Match, or Author operators to narrow your searches. Currently displayed are the name of the plugin, the plugin's project page link, the time that the plugin was last updated, and the plugins authors.

    Please no hate here, I really don't appreciate it. I do, however, appreciate constructive criticism where due. To add a further note, this service is not to hate against plugins.bukkit.org because I know that it has many more features, but rather as a simple alternative or another option for ones who like it. :)

    Are you scraping BukkitDev yourself? Are you aware of Bukget?

    Yes, I made a custom parser. At the time I created it, bukget was not a fully developed project. I made it because I need a challenge in c#. If it is a problem, I will take it down. Thanks for posting!

    Hmm, looks cool. Is there also a way to view the amount of downloads a plugin has? Just for statistic purposes ;)

    Nice! I was wondering if you add a way to install plugins using the application...

    uvbeenzaned

    I can add a direct download link to the latest version of the plugin but there is no easy way to directly install the plugin from a regular HTML page with no java applets and such.

    Just an update for you guys. I have done some thinking into adding the features you all have requested and I am going to have to possibly rewrite the back-end to handle more than one Bukkit page at a time. As of now it only downloads one page at a time because it doesn't have to go very deep into the pages to get information. In fact it only has to look at one level to get the information it already contains. If I start adding things such as how many times the plugin has been downloaded, this is going to require me to go a second (or even a third) level deep into the project pages. Please don't forget this project though, it'll just take a bit to add these new features. As soon as I get enough time from other things, I will try to be quick about getting it done.
