(This is by contrast to the "one wget per day of data, and per lineup,
with verbose logging" that the old-style DD fetches used.)

..which means you should REMEMBER TO TURN OFF whatever cronjob or myth
job was doing the -old- fetches from DataDirect! Presumably they'll
just break on their own at some point, but they might cause mfdb to
then delete all your listings when they fail to grab any data, or
something like that. Again, better not to find out the hard way...
