If you can, please add a button...or a bat that deletes all the files that you dont have checked for default....this way if we want to put it on a cd for unattended install, it can still fit on the cd...

this is...the precise reason why no one at msfn likes this program...and if you could add this, the 'bloatedness' would go way down....

Well, it's not that hard to manually delete the files themselves. I'll be including documentation for it as well. As far as a button to do so, I'm not for sure how that would work. You'd think the fine folks at MSFN would know how to remove the files themselves, or at least ask me. I've helped a few people do it. :)

Yeah, they would just come up with another reason AP is "bloated". MSFN's content is OK, they did that unattended CD guide with switches for all the apps, but they're mean to Neowin and Neowin-sponsored projects like AP, and I don't like that.

Now now, no MSFN bashing. We all know they don't like us, and if they want to hate the AutoPatcher, they can. It's their right.

Im not asking for them, Im asking for me. It wouldnt be that hard to manually delete them, if I knew which ones werent being used...a lot of the installers use more than one file...

Yea I wish the two communities could work together on something like this, cause personally I think they have tons more knowledge in this subject, but neowin has the people willing to stick it out and get it done...quickly. At least they can talk about neowin there...here if you talk about their project you get a locked thread....dont mean to be disrespectful when saying that, just saying this is a forum...

Well I just would rather not get into it here. You could always post a thread about it in the Soapbox. :)

Well I'll include documentation, and you can always tell what files are being used by looking in the bat files. Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll be able to do it. :)

yea i know i could go through the bats....just saying 40+ is a bit excessive to sniff through. i guess the delete thing would be pretty tough to do though....

Don't worry, I'll try to come up with something. I may make a file containing which selections go with which files or somethin'. I'll see what I can do. :)

I wish fb2k 0.7.4 the case's special installer version, opera 7.24 or maybe firebird 0.7

Hmmm... I can tell you those won't be in the main version, but depending on size, they may be in the bonus pack... or (most likely) there will just be instructions on how to add it to the install itself. :)

memodude, im doing a simple DBE too :D However... are you coding this in VB? If so... maybe i could give you the original source code to read/write to and from database files... that way you wont have any weird problem with some database files...

/Raptor

I'm doing it with VB.NET. Mine is almost done, once you test it could you include it with AP? I could also do a little VB6 wrapper that will check for the .NET Framework and invoke the setup in the AP folder. I know that invoking the .NET Framework setup (for example, the user starts APDBE then installs the framework via AP) will just cause it to start, detect that the framework is already there, and exits.

Could you please e-mail me your database code? I could run it through the fragment upgrader and make it work under .NET. Thanks a lot.

It sounds great, and if it works I think there shouldn't be a prob with including it. :)

As far as the code, do you mean the code to the AutoPatcher, the code to the DBE Raptor was working on, or the Database itself? lol

Database read code in AP. So the user can open the main AP database (October and November releases) or a user database powered by TDI they have already worked on (December and later releases).

If possible, make the next edition mark the updates as completed so when I got to Windows Update, it doesn't display a whole crapload new. Please?

Hmm... it should have done that in the last version. Well, I know the Dec Update is fine... though I'd like to know more about what you said happened.

@Carey934:

Thanks for the clearup on RegClean 4.1a, I hadn't downloaded it yet, and I had never used it before so I didn't know. So thank you! :)

As far as why the recommended updates and some Regtweaks are automatically selected, it's because a lot of newbies out there don't even know they exist, and I think they're all good things. If you don't like them, the first time you startup AutoPatcher just select what you'd want and hit "Save as Defaults". It will change the AutoPatcher.dat file and from then on it will have your defaults instead of mine. Easy fix. :) Oh, and the reason I have both javas selected is because if I select neither, some people won't know to choose one. Others can pick their preference. I know there's no harm in installing both, so that's why I have them both checked. :)

How can it save as default, when I am loading it from CD-ROM?

hmmzz...i think it would be a good idea to add a "search 'n destroy" button :p

this or these button(s) should have the following functions:

- detect the updates allready installed on the system

- remove those from the list + an option to fysically delete them...

*really hoping this is possible (or not allready said)*

* a detection that is like the WU detection...it checks the system for the current system configuration and then auto selects the needed updates and hides(or fade away) the updates that do not apply to the system configuration, or that are allready installed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
