This radio station mp3 audio stream is 256kb/sec:
http://stream0.wuftfm.org:8000/wufthd2256
However, when using 2 different softwares, Streamripper32 and the newer Stationripper, each on the top of the hour, when there are a few advertisements, the hour's worth of capture gets automatically deleted (overwritten). I like these softwares because they use very little cpu, (about 3%), even less than the Windows Task Manager uses.
My question is: is there a simple free low cpu usage software that can rip the 256kb/sec stream and not lose the accumulated capture on the hour? I tried StreamHijacker and it seems to work, but uses about 8 times more cpu power (about 24% instead of 3%). I am also concerned that StreamHijacker might be doing some kind of unwanted audio processing (based on the much higher cpu usage).
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

I've used TotalRecorder quite a bit. Bought it ump-teen years ago for $12.

I've used TotalRecorder quite a bit.
Reason:
1) Total Recorder is not free
2) Total Recorder is not a ripper, it is a sound card recorder
Fortunately I found the answer.
Castripper:

or

Rips the 256kb/sec stream, does not overwrite (delete) the stream at the top of the hour, and uses less than 3% cpu.
Problem solved.
