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)

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.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
