Librey - Download Manager


Recommended Posts

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)

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)

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.

    • 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.
    • I'm lost too... what did you mean by your first comment then?
