f_norm.gif BitTorrent is a P2P system that makes transfering large files (or groups of files) amongst a large group of people easy, fast and efficient. The BitTorrent network is impressive mostly for the speed and reliability with which you get files that have been recently released. As long as a .torrent file has enough people sharing then you can be assured that it will start quickly and maintain a good download speed. Always remember to leave your BitTorrent client open to help distribute the files!

f_norm.gif Read the FAQ before installing AutoPatcher: v1.1: download (26.13kb) (made by raptor)

f_norm.gif With this version, you don’t need to decompress the amp files before using AutoPatcher. Just insert the amp module you want in the specific folder (\addons, etc) and AutoPatcher will take care of it.

icon13.gif IE6SP1 is a major update, if you dont have it installed prior to using autopatcher, make sure its selected for installation the first time you do, otherwise there can be serious consequences. Also note that some updates will only be available to install after IE6SP1 is installed, so youll need to run AP at least twice.

The 902344 update is not for 2000. It is for the XP and 2K3 versions of the 891122 update ONLY. Other than that, good job guys.

What happens when Windows tries to install all this non-campatible or superceded (like in current ap xp) patches? shouldn't it automatically abort their installation?

First, this KB902344 applies to Microsoft Windows Media Format 9.5 SDK and that can be installed on W2000! If you have installed it, you need the patch! For those who are thinking that I'm wrong can alsways take a look at the website Windows Media Format 9 Series SDK for more information.

Hey guys,

Now this looks really hot stuff. I never used it before though, so is it really as simple as download and run?

I think I'm completely up to date (I check for updates regularly and of course get the silent updates) but I imagine it would be really something if this fella checks and replaces/deletes etc.

W2K Pro SP4

I won't bore you with what's installed from updates but a little advice wouldn't go amiss.

Thanks, in anticipation!

hi keithy397,

if you're up to date, you probably don't need most of these patches. anyway - no harm will be done as autopatcher can detect installed patches, and only suggests the relevant ones.

in the first post of this thread you'll find the contents of this package, and you may want the additional components/tweaks it offers...you're choice.

even some of the patches, as I have once verified with windows update, are unique to autopatcher, as downloading them from microsoft sometimes involves more than the mere "express update".

^ seeding at around 20KBps

eta 2.5hr (if my calculations are correct) (and if your the only leecher)

infact in a sec i'll boost you up to 25KBps (5/6 of my upload bandwidth), which might shave off around 1/2 an hour ;)

Hi - I've downloaded both AP2000Nov05Lite.exe (from y2kcs.net) and the full version AP2000Nov05Full.exe from (downloads.gabbix.com).

Even though I have the correct file sizes on my end, my MD5 hashes are not matching those listed here. I'm using Advanced Checksum Verifier to generate the hashes. (which works for other programs)

Has anyone else had this problem? Are the hash values listed here correct? Are these files safe to run?

any ideas?

-Warren G

I have a question...

I'm paranoid; I won't install anything with DRM or .NET on my Win2kSP4 machine, which means nothing past media player 6.4 and obviously no .net runtime enviroments or anything like that.

Is there a version of autopatcher lite that has the paranoid security consious MCSE in mind? it's a pain trying to patch everything manually without hitting windowsupdate.

^ autopatcher allows you to select what you install. you can decide which you dont want and simply uncheck them.

i can see a slight cause for paranoia when DRM is concerned, although its purpose is just to prevent illegal copies to be made, but i can understand what with sony's recent rootkit !

i dont understand why you dont want .net though. its a great idea and theres nothing to be paranoid about.

.net is just a framework containing a large number of common functions used by many programs. computers which have the framework will already have these functions, and so programs written to .net wont need to include them and so can be much smaller.

smaller programs means fatser downloads, your bandwidth is saved (saving money on pay as you go ISP's) and encouraging more users. bandwidth is also saved on the distributors/programmers end therefore making it cheaper to produce programs. it can also potentially save you a large amount of disk space.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
