Is this going to be a standalone DL manager or tied to IE?

i think this is going to be a standalone dl manager

@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.

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?

[itsnotabigtruck]

Yeah, I might write some code for loading the icon from HKCR, unless you know of a file icon API I could use... :)

[freakyfriday]

whats the news on this ?

[itsnotabigtruck]

Sorry, I hadn't posted in a while, I was making Picture It! start without MSN. I'm going to start working some more on it after school today. Don't worry, I'll work on it.

Does everybody want for the toolbar:

Office 2003 style...

Office XP style...or

Windows XP style?

All of them look good and perform fast, because Dacris NetXP toolbars roxor.

[freakyfriday]

i don't care, when is the first beta for this ?

[itsnotabigtruck]

I don't know, first I'm trying to optimize it to an acceptable speed. It currently downloads at apprx. 1 kilobytes/second on my fast broadband connection. :p

Hmm maybe give an option to choose which style? Like radio buttons maybe?

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

application or machine (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine

rather than being handled by this dialog.

this is when i was trying to save it to C:\

[freakyfriday]

Cancel button does not work, there is no Pause or resume button,

and when you make the window bigger, the whole area is not white

[freakyfriday]

everytime i try to download it just crashes, says the path is access denied

[itsnotabigtruck]

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.

[freakyfriday]

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

[edgarf28]

it download nothing!

and it use 22 mb of my memory!!!

[itsnotabigtruck]

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.

It's going really fast? :rolleyes: On my machine it goes at about 3 KB/s! Weird...

[freakyfriday]

also when i file is complted, make sure you can clear the download

also add, like delay, retry,

that's all the bugs so far

[itsnotabigtruck]

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.

[freakyfriday]

another bug is when i close down the manager and have a file going, and then open i back up all the files are gone

[freakyfriday]

another bug is when i have a file partly downloaded, and when i want to resume off that file, it just starts at the begining.

also when i get disconnected from the internet(i'm on a modem) it does not start over again, just sits there
