Yes, I've found it to be a bit odd with historic rainfall. Haven't got a solution to that yet but it isn't an issue for me as I'm only really interested in current conditions.

I found a version 1.0 on a website that I've installed and which seems much more stable.
You can download it with this link:

Yes, a memory leak seems likely. Version 2.0 definitely doesn't like being left running for too long.
The way I've setup my system is that I use a Windows version of the Unix TAIL command to copy the last 25 lines or so from the EasyWeather.dat file into a file of my own. This was because the EasyWeather.dat file rapidly becomes rather large. I then use a scheduled ftp task to upload this new file to my website. VB Script on the website then interrogates the uploaded file and generates the display.
