0 freakyfriday Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Is this going to be a standalone DL manager or tied to IE? i think this is going to be a standalone dl manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itsnotabigtruck Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 @Mav Phoenix: Standalone, unless some C guru can write a BHO for this. @Winston: LOL. Well, it's a good try, it's just that having the source files is much better. @freakyfriday: I'll let you test it when it's ready enough. I know everyone wants to just try the current source but it downloads at a rate like heck, has debug code, doesn't have the real icons posted by you in yet, etc. It is dysfunctional beyond belief. However, it's a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's a good start. sounds like it's gonna be good memodude, you know in the prompting dialog asking you where to save it has an icon kind of like a windows application icon, are you going to be doing something like testing wat the actual file extension is from the link and then comparing it to the windows file types and getting the icon for it, if uno wat i mean, like say it was .mp3 someone was downloading are you going to be checking which program that .mp3 is associated to for example winamp and grab winamps icon and put it in that dialog?

0 itsnotabigtruck Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Yeah, I might write some code for loading the icon from HKCR, unless you know of a file icon API I could use... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itsnotabigtruck Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Response: 1. Currently you have to also specify a file name, eg. C:\file.exe, not C:\. That causes that exception. 2. Cancel doesn't do anything if there's nothing to cancel. 3. It doesn't have resize code yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 freakyfriday Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 (edited) okay its downloading now, i got winamp downloading and it going really fast !!! it would be nice to have pause and resume added and sechucle? also when its downloading add like in KB\sec and like its saying 1mb out of 4mb, add 1.01...and etc its using 23mb of ram and 100% CPU Tranfsering is wrong also, when its at 3mb out of 4mb.. its at 2.44mb instead Edited December 20, 2003 by freakyfriday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 edgarf28 Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 it download nothing! and it use 22 mb of my memory!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itsnotabigtruck Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 The RAM info is non-representative. .NET applications allocate more memory than they need, then give it up if other applications need it. The 100% CPU I need to fix, it's because it just contantly downloads. However, it doesn't lock up, and it yields to other applications. If you start something else 100% CPU usage will still be there but the application will still start normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itsnotabigtruck Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 1. I will add clearing the list when I add list persistence. 2. I will add that in a later release. 3. That isn't in the real Longhorn download manager, but I might add it to the Status field in ()s. 4. I just added that. 5. RTFA! 6. See #4. 7. See #2.
