Hello, dear neowinians.

We have done some major changes to Librey. As you may already know, Librey is a download manager coded in the .NET runtime. We switched now to the version 2.0 of .NET.

We are working in a team now:

- Dan C: User Interface, Integrating the Core in the UI

- Elexir: Core (Engine and Preferences), Multi-Language-Support

Librey's Features:

- Pause, Resume Download

- Supporting HTTP Protocol

- Thread-Based Download Process Model

Download Librey - Beta 1 [.zip] (.NET 1.1)

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

FINALLY! WOOT

edit: i have a few suggestions

  • Make it so it auto-downloads to a certain location that the user chooses
  • Make it so it auto starts, when its the only thing in the tray
  • When you click Advanced>>, you can click it again to not show what it says
  • Lets users choose whether to show size in Mb or Kb
  • Make it show the % done in the system bar
  • When minimized, librey is sent to tray?
  • Feature: Exit when all downloads are done
  • Download limiter
  • Turn off comp, when downloads are done
  • show a warning when a download is finished, maybe like a small popup at the bottom right of the screen
  • Ability to download from multiple sources
  • Make a plugin for Firefox? So when users click a download link, Librey automatically opens?
  • when a file is added while another is downloading, the one downloading should remain on top of the list, while all the others go below it
  • List from top to bottom, should be oldest to newest, so every new file is added below the one before it

OMG! I see what I can do ;)

If you'd like someone to design a program icon, shoot me a PM.

586329625[/snapback]

I would love to have a nice application icon! :) I've added you in my MSN account.

Looks good Rus (Y)

586329659[/snapback]

Thank ya, man ;)

Come on, it's extremely simple to do speed and time remaining... I expected to see more than this. What about HTTP redirection, referrer and cookie handling, three very important features. I'll stick with my homemade DM, thank you.

586329684[/snapback]

Thank ya for you comment. The HTTP redir, I'd like to find out how it's working. So, we'll see what I can do. ;) About other features... Maybe.

Updated the 1st Post.

Please, we need your feedback!

Me and Dan C spent the whole day on testing the Proxy feature. Well, it seems like there is a problem when a Proxy server is being slow.

That's why I'm releasing here now a nighty build.

This has all the features like before, only the Proxy support has been added. Also a small skin change.

Download Beta 1 Nighty Build [.zip]

Where to find the Proxy Option? See screenshot.

Thank you.

Please, when you find a bug, report. Thanks again.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By monterxz · Posted

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
