I will be installing the Dec Update soon on another machine to test it, will give my feedback later.

:yes: AutoPatcherXP 4.3 rocks, Dec Full and Update releases worked fine on both of the XP boxes I used, I have two more to install, but I know both releases will go smoothly.

I bet FlishFun and Raptor are jumping of happiness seeing all the good feedback from neowin member :D

Keep up the good work guys

Off to bed, you all have a good one :sleep:

FTP ABUSERS!

The following IPs are addresses of people who are abusing the FTP server and the service I am providing by trying to login every second. This not only slows down the people who are connected (making them take longer, and therefore making you wait longer) but it also ****es off my ISP. Try to connect every 5 minutes or so.

If you own one of these IP addresses, please stop or I may ask everyone here to do the same to your IP address and we'll see how much you like it!

Once again, if you don't stop attacking the FTP server with multiple logins every second, I will be forced to shut down the FTP and no one will log in ever again.

Your co-operation, consideration and understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.

You know, earlier today, there were no more than 3 people on at any given time. No you all want on at once. Give your fellow AutoPatcher-user the same opportunity to grab the file as you would like them to offer you.

Thank you.

EDIT - Hey Carey, I appreciate what you're doing, but I don't think we should be giving out other's IP addys, even if they are abusing you. - FlishFun

Several people were already on the FTP and downloading the Autopatcher program, and at the same time, were trying to re-login while they were already logged in. People, learn how to use FTP. Your IPs have been blocked from this FTP server. You are not welcome here.

If you want in, send me a message and we'll talk about it.

I know your upset and rightly so, but posting IP addresses is completly out of line. I dont care how ****ed you are, you have no right doing that because it is possiable 1 or more or all of the people you now have let the world know about, do not fully know what they are doing and may not realize what its causing.

I suggest edditing your post and remove the IP Addresses.

The option to edit the post is not available to me. Many of those IPs I listed are still, at this moment, sending 1,000's of requests per minute at my server. This is unacceptable. It's as if they set it to attack the server and went to bed. It's not only inconsiderate to me, it's also inconsiderate to all of the people who are attached to the FTP properly.

People should not hide behind their IPs. People should be held accountable for their actions. I have no other way of contacting the offenders other than by IP address posting. Don't attack the FTP and you have nothing to worry about.

This is the thanks I get for sharing my expensive broadband connection with complete strangers.

No good deed goes unpunished, eh?

All I can say is, thank god for firewalls or at least half of the people who successfully downloaded would still be TRYING to download because of the selfish inconsideration of others. Yet, you expect me to show consideration to them?

If I open my house to you, and you come in and trash it, I will be sure to let as many people know where you live as possible.

Karma.

Is there a reliable site where I might direct download this from?

I tried yesterday and spent an hour downloading 192Mb only for the site to go down before completion!!!

Tried the only site apparently up this morning but cannot connect!!!

If this is so good I want to try it!!!

You are welcome to log into my FTP server at 130.13.153.165. Be sure to use Port 79. Use the name 'user' and the password 'user'.

Please do not try to gain access to the site more than once a minute and please do not attempt multiple logins from the same IP or you will be banned.

At this moment, my server has room for 6 more people...

Just a suggestion to AutoPatcher.com:

Before your January 2004 update please have at least 10 download sites (some with unlimited bandwidth).

And make sure that the full post gets posted on the newsgroup sites. On Road Runner, half of the post is incomplete.

Thanks for this great program and keep up the good work.

I'll just keep trying to download. :alien:

That's a good suggestion, but if you only saw the screaming of everyone when I was trying to get just 3 servers! :laugh: Don't worry... I'm working out things... hopefully by Jan I'll have that. :D

And make sure that the full post gets posted on the newsgroup sites. On Road Runner, half of the post is incomplete.

the posts are complete on easynews and giganews

(both the rars and the pars)

and are still sitting there

the propagation to roadrunner is a roadrunner problem

(if you're on roadrunner you are well aware of their up

and down performance - both completeness and retention)

half of all the posts on rr are incomplete depending on

day of week/phase of the moon/and pms

(i'm on rr and posted those to the premo news-servers

to insure completeness and retention)

(lots of posts to rr directly dont even end up complete)

as suggested before you might like to try easynews trial

subscription or even blow $10 for one month/6 gig

(i suggest sending the $10 to flish and using the trial)

stay cool

just noticed that you're in texas.....

if its houston.....pm me with a phone number....

drop by.....and i'll give it to you on a fixed autorun cd

(if you paypal that $10 to flish...............just joking)

stay dry

Before your January 2004 update please have at least 10 download sites (some with unlimited bandwidth).

There is NO such thing as "unlimited" bandwidth. People advertise it, but it is only a ploy to get people to sign up. After you use about 20 GB (that would be about 4 hours with AP) the provider normally suspends your account.

Bandwidth is not cheap and this program is VERY popular and large. In less then the 12 hour time period that I hosted it on fredtheitguy.com, it used 40 GB of bandwidth. Just be patient, Flish is doing the best he can. You also have to remember... it is a FREE program. No Advertisements, no source of revenue to PAY for a server with 800 GB of bandwidth a month. Not only that, 800 GB would only last about a week at the current download rate.

When people were complaining that AP wasn''t done, and then that they couldn't download it, they had no right to complain, at least unless they donated something... (Whether it be money, hosting, etc.)

Hey- I'd love to be a ftp host for others to download. I have my own dedicated FTP server but first.....

hoo-hummm...I have to download this program which is what I've been trying to do for 2 days.

So, to those who complain about those "complaining"... :p

Hey now, everyone has the right to complain, but all complaining does is make me wanna take a break instead of upload. ;) lol Speaking of which... uploading to a couple of places now... hope for new links shortly. (Y)

Also, anyone who is willing to host, I can get you the file... I do have one live FTP that I use ONLY to transfer the file to people who will upload it. If anyone is willing, PM me... :D

If you're still having trouble downloading this update, you should try the torrent that is listed earlier in this post. There are now 73 of us seeding it and only 96 people leeching it. You should get a pretty good download rate. You can download BitTorrent from here http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/. Install it and double click on the torrent that is in the zip file on this page https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...l=torrent&st=90.

Have Fun! :D

Steve

:edit:

Make sure you leave the torrent open for at least a couple of hours after it's complete so more people can get the file!

Hey now, everyone has the right to complain, but all complaining does is make me wanna take a break instead of upload. ;)

Well, I guess what I mean, is that this is free, so you're not paying for it, which means you don't really have the right to complain. :rofl:

Hey Flish..

Does the Dec update included patches Q815021 (Naichi Worm Vulnerability) and KB823980 (MS Blaster Worm Vulnerability) patches? They are REALLY important to have on your machine

Aren't those included in Q826939 Update Rollup 1 Package??

Aren't those included in Q826939 Update Rollup 1 Package??

Ding ding! You are correct! (Y)

@turkforce - Yes and no. No it doesn't, but it contains instructions in the Documentation folder that tells you how to make it work. :)

    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.

    • User: "But is it good?" Microsoft: "Well, no. But it is less bad."
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.
