Yes, and thanks again for the help with the torrents!

In the last month, it was only a download of the PTG full version.. I think that it's not needed to do torrents neither for the PTG nor for the PTB versions... Pleople don't use them...

The newest version is ready to be released, it's just being propegated to mirrors.

There'll be an update version in the May release

[dzjepp]

Well, I hope noone gets mad, but the torrent for May has been uploaded, I am grabbing it right now, and uploading of course. :D I won't post any links to it on other sites just yet wait for you guys to do that, and by starting early I could have more done later down the road when the masses hit the torrent link.

*hides*

Suggestion to Raptor: Create a new thread for the May release, this one contains alot of info from previous released (like mirror pages) that is outdated.

I'd think it would be easier to see exactly what's what if it was a new thread.

what does this mean!!?? :blink:

^^

it means youve extracted the may release on top of a previous release.

the may release uses AP v5.1 which *is* backwards compatable, but you generally cant drop it ontop of a previous release because you end up with multiple copies of modules due to 5.1's sub directory structure.

You need to delete your autopatcher directory (folder) and re-extract the may release.

:blush:

thanks

[+theblazingangel MVC]

no prob

remember the rule that you should only ever apply a new release on a previous one if the new release contains the word 'update' in its title.

The reason being, files may have been removed or renamed, and if you dont they will remain and cause problems, just like you saw.

Note, if you use 'update' releases you will still have these old files.

(I expect the may update release uses AP5.0 or does not use sub directories to get around the problem introducing AP5.1).

Ohhh yeahhh burning the bandwidth. :laugh:

Sorry about the problems currently with my mirror everyone (as it's down at the moment). I should have it back up tonight and actually even more stable and faster than before.

You see, many months ago, when I was on shared hosting with a certain company (I wont mention their name), I soon realized that they weren't going to cut it, so I tried contacting them to cancel my account (and payments) by all possible means only to never find a reply. Thus, I had to hunt down their billing company that they use and have them manually cancel my subscription, which was good enough for me. The funny thing is, that it seemed as they didn't even realize that I stopped paying them, like a glitch in the system, as I continued to have hosting from them! I could do everything that I did before, except this time, all for free!

Well, I knew that AutoPatcher would suck up lots of bandwidth and since my main site was already on another host and working fine (with limited bandwidth though), I decided to only put the AP files on my "old free" host since I didn't care how much bandwidth was used there. This went on for several months with no problems that I could find, which I thought was quite hilarious, all except for today. It seems that they FINALLY realized I haven't been paying and deleted my account. :D

Of course, now I'm all the wiser and have a stable and speedy dedicated server in which I manage and thus, once I get a chance tonight to re-upload the files there, my mirror should be back up in full strength and with lots of bandwidth.

Anyway, sorry for the long story, I just thought it was funny. :) Enjoy.

Homer, I'm curious, where did you get that signature that displays your server stats in realtime? Is it available freely to all, or did you code it yourself? Thanks.:):)

Hehe one of my friends gave it to me, but he doesn't give it to many people (infact I think I'm the only one) :)

On a side note, some little prick leaked the link to the full edition which was still sitting on my server due to me being the distro mirror, and that sent stuff mad. Cheers whoever did that, you caused me a hassle throughout the night, and TP woke me up to tell me that httpd had died. :sleep:

(not one of the other mirrors, somebody got wise I think)

[severach]

I am seeding all 3 Autopatcher files over Bittorrent through my T1. This should attract more leeches which will improve download speeds which will attract more leeches... I've noticed poor download speeds for Autopatcher over Bittorrent in the past and I thought a little power might help win people away from the outmoded mirror system. Try the Torrent files first to keep the mirrors open for those who don't have Bittorrent (yet).

Downloading it now via the torrents. Thnx :)

The "Update" version doesn't have the AutoPatcher.exe, it uses the old 5.0 present in the April release...

It only has the \modules, \tools and \translations...

[LittlBUGer]

Alright, I was just wondering to see if I could get one, but thanks. :)

Yea, my server also took a beating last night. Before I got some sleep, it nearly crashed and I had to reboot it (first time in a month!) and double-check everything. This is my first time back online for today, so I hope it's still OK... looks like over 300 downloads of the Full version on my mirror last night... heh. :)
