General Software Discussion / TRUSTED Download Manager discussion
« Last post by justice on May 15, 2007, 03:47 AM »
So there's all the recent discussions about whether or not there is hidden spyware /adware in certain download managers. Which ones can we trust? I also heard people talking about similar issues in the past, but was unable to find any info.

As donationcoder.com does not seem to have a download manager (yet?) that we know we can trust, what download managers can you recommend? What are the essential features?

Also, would it be safer to use a DM that has never had ads? Or is open-source? or is paid and properly supported? A lot of questions and I don't have any answers. Please help  :-[

It is working from the link in Cybernet news report if you want to, but actually I don't think I should link to it and respect the author's wish to go shareware -- they have removed the link from their own site.

You can still download 5.3 from mirrors!

Brave move. It’s a good program for sure. Although I think it’s not fair to compare it to its previous freeware versions (but understandable), it is competing against itself!

Also I wonder behind the rationale not to make a seperate “pro” version and keep the current version free bugfixes / compatibility.

People don’t like things taken away from them unfortunately, the psychological effect of freeware -> shareware I would think is worse than release a “plus” version even though it’s basically the same thing.

You'll have to reconstruct your input from keyloggers as it also records backspace, delete keypresses etc. It would be better to periodically save the text in the current control.

Well here's my incomplete script. It works on simple controls like Notepad++, notepad, but not yet on browser controls such as opera and IE due to my inexperience with programming to controls. it should be easy to extend it.

Their marketshare must have dropped below 99%  :huh: Why do they play it like this? If they asked for changes because this library violates these patents, people might collaborate. Sounds a lot like tactics to scare IT managers. Are they trying to affect the image of linux in the corporate world?

last thing i heard they have a patch but you have to contact them to get it, it's not a big priority for ms (?!?!?!?). IN the meantime they recommend people to update to MS Update everytime on the WU site. how disappointing

It wouldn't be too hard to create a autohotkey script that you can start with a shortcut.
what it would do is every 1 minute ctrl-a, ctrl-c, up, down. This would copy the text in the input box to the clipboard and deselect. (up and down allows for deselecting without moving the caret to the end /start of the line -- at least in opera). (or even save it into a file temporarily if you wanted)

Thank you for your suggestions Alexk! I'll consider them all, I don't want to add as many parameters as robocopy, but they're definately worth looking into.
1786
I only uploaded 7 recovery blocks which was 49MB, looks like you best download it from scratch indeed, the patch / pars would be as big as the original.
1787
Yep FlashGet has gone freeware, and it's still as good. It's listed on softpedia as 100% no spyware / adware.

I've uploaded the par files: http://www.box.net/shared/cbypmb43x1
1788
You've been using the wrong hash program I think. you need the SHA1 hash!
I use DPASHA which does the SHA1 hash, it downloaded correctly with FlashGet

I'll enclose a par2 file. Tell me how many blocks you need...
1789
I'm downloading the file, should be done in 40 min, and wil use that sourceforge.net software if you want.

I guess it would work if you used .par / par2 files and then repair the file using quickpar.

How do I make a symbolic link? edit: ah great when I answer my own question  8)
C:\>mklink
Creates a symbolic link.

MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target

        /D      Creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file
                symbolic link.
        /H      Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link.
        /J      Creates a Directory Junction.
        Link    specifies the new symbolic link name.
        Target  specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link
                refers to.

Would be good if there was an easier way, maybe via a context menu item or wizard hmm.

Ok I thought any RSS reader could open local links, it seems SharpReader rejects them. I guess I will have to test with other software and keep a list of which software is capable. You can run a mini-webserver like HFS or SimpleWWW if you don't mind this -- set up a site with the siteroot being the folder which contains the xml file, then you can browse to http://localhost/test.xml or similar and subscribe to the feed, or ask the developer(s) of Sharpreader to support the file:// protocol, I am unsure what else can be done about it   :(

However I have success with Opera 9.20:
If you just right click on the rss feed and do Open with -> opera you will get a url like:
file://localhost/C:\rss\test.xml

Now go to the menu bar Feeds -> Manage Feed -> Add -> enter file://localhost/C:\rss\test.xml as the url and it should load. I'll update the opening post!

Oh thanks! I found an Xpath parser so I will soon generate real xml, but if i get stuck I'll try that approach too.

There's a known issue with Folder-RSS not generating valid feeds if one or more files have ampersands and other characters that should be carefully escaped in their filename.edit: now fixed. I suspect if you copy the contents of the result file into http://www.validome.org/rss-atom/ and validate it, it will say it fails?

Fixing this is a high priority!

yep, but in the AHK souce you'll find an option to disable subdirectories. :Thmbsup: (edit: now as a parameter)

I am using the following configuration atm:
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. maxAge = 14     ; only process files that are modified within x days (default=14)
  2. maxItems = 100  ; maximum items in rss feed (default=100)
  3. includeSubFolders = 1 ; Monitor Subfolders (1=true (default), 0=false )
  4. excludeFiles = R,H,S ; Skip any file that is either H (Hidden), R (Read-only), or S (System) Note: No spaces in "H,R,S"

Folder-RSS generates an newsfeed containing changes within a folder. Use it to see what files are new in a particular folder by subscribing with an newsreader such as Opera.

17 October 2007 -Righty a long awaited update to Folder-RSS :)
changes for version 0.9
* repacked with the latest autohotkey - no more false positives from certain virus scanners
* support for Mouser's DcUpdater (let me know if this works well for you - folder-rss checks for updates on start, will make this an option
* new options thanks to donationcoder member requests:
  -only:files|folders = Only include files (-only:files) or folders (-only:folders) (Default is both)
  -only:*.ext = Only include *.ext files (eg. change to *.mp3 to include mp3 files only). (default = *.*)
  -maxage:`<number`> = Only show results last modified within the last `<number`> days (default=14)
  -maxitems:<number> = Only show up to <number> feeditems (default = 100)
* started work on graphical user interface for next version.

Download


Example:
folder-rss.exe "c:\browser downloads" d:\temp\latest.xml

(get the complete syntax by running the file)

You can only monitor specific files using wildcards. Put paths with spaces in quotes. Run it as a scheduled task once a day to generate a new feed! Defaults list the last 100 items that have been modified /are added within the last 14 days. Read-only, System and hidden files are not monitored unless specified.

AHK source + compiled .EXE provided. Your suggestions and comments are much appreciated :) 

There are bound to be bugs, but I am happy to squash them.

If you can detect whether or not vista is installed:
if vista -> uncheck the alpha fading thing, vista already does it, maybe it makes FARR snappier.
Also vista is beautiful enough so then I don't use any skins, but that one is taste.

Still haven't found any other issues  :Thmbsup:

General Software Discussion / Re: E Texteditor experiences?
« Last post by justice on May 04, 2007, 07:11 AM »
It was obvious to me that my editor had to live up to these new expectations and it seemed that my only options was to either reinvent or blatantly copy textmates features, neither of which seemed very honest or appealing to me.

Instead I choose a third option: compatibility and cooperation.

Cooperation vs Competition

I contacted Allan Odgaard, the creator of textmate, to set up a meeting. [...]
Allan was very positive about the prospect of me making the editor compatible with textmate, and he had no problems with me using the textmate bundles. Having more people, on more platforms, to use and improve the bundles, could only make them even more powerful and comprehensive.

Also...
I will keep working with Allan to ensure that e stays compatible with the textmate bundle system. He has a lot of really cool stuff lined up for version 2.0, so there is something to look forward to.

When the textmate compatibility is complete, I will return to the original goal. Using the power of the underlying revision control engine, to introduce features beyond what is seen in any other editor
