icon11.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!

icon13.gifEnglish release users

to be have the latest stuff you need

1) dec 2005 full/lite release (or equivelant)

2) feb 2006 update release (contains jan 2006 update)

3) mar 2006 update release (this one)

sorry, but no full or lite release this month either, im 100% sure there will be next month though since were up to ~40MB of changes since the last.

i did mention this might be culmulative (including feb06) but it ISNT due to the large size.

icon13.gifNOTE - you CANNOT use the normal update release with the 'full beta' feb release, one uses apv5.1 and the other apv6, and they are not compatible with each other!

Edited by TheBlazingAngel

@devster cheers (Y)

youve got some slightly confusing info beside the links:

- beside the mar upd, it should really read "use with dec05 full & feb06 upd"

- beside mar full, it should really read "Use Feb06 Beta Full or Mar06 Update"

i get the following error:

Module Panic

Module Panic on Resort Star Menu Alphabetically!

You are running Windows XP Home SP2 (Locale 1033) + IE6

This Release is not suitable for your system.

35602: Key is not unique in collection.

wtf is that about? The Dec, Jan, and Feb worked fine just updated the previous one each time and now this?

You people should release a March Full instead of just updates that cause issues like this.

Edit -> Before you ask I set AutoPatcher to Install to my existing AutoPatcher directory and installed the update and then ran the exe.

Edited by cbosdell

@cbosdell

i move tweaks into sub folders, the update installer should delete the tweaks directory before unpacking the tweaks into there new locations. perhaps for some reason the deletetion didnt occur, which is a problem because deletetion rules are common in update releases to remove redundant files after a replacement, rename, or redundancy.

if this is the case you will have a large number of tweaks in c:\program files\autopatcher\modules\tweaks, as well as in the new subfolders.

please report back to me whether this is the case.

I think a few points to be made from me this time -

1. This time , for the installtion path , instead of using the system value for Programmes files , which is smthgn like %xxx% , i guess you have entered the installtion path to be in Programme Files !!

because i have renamed my programme files as programes using nLite , and the Dec. n Feb packs had no problems.

2. I use Ryans update packs along with the WMP pack , which has an updated release of WMP . So Autopatcher feels that my WMP is not the same as it has and always asks me to update it , which cant happen as the installer reports i have an newer version.

Can this be worked upon?

And just one suggestion , a checkbox at the last autopatcher screen asking wether to uninstall it on Restart since the patching has already taken place?

Great work team (Y)

I think this month I'm going to offer both the update files and a zip file containing the dec full/feb update/mar update for torrent users as well :) An almost-full package :p

Edit: Blaze, i think you should look into another primary mirror apart from megaupload, they have some NSFW popups :(

Edited by M2Ys4U

OK, I've got the zipfile containing the Dec Full, Feb update and Mar update on the torrent tracker.

Hmm, actually seeding that's gonna be a problem since I guess the way that it's zipped affects the hash... *thinks*

Oh well *uploads rest of update files*

Edit: March update file uploaded :)

Edited by M2Ys4U

can anybody upload to rapidshare.de?? I've problem with megaupload, i cant download from the site. And the other mirror site also same.......btw, the torrent u uploaded wont run either.....juz stuck with 0%

my mirror is fine, are you sure you are reading the notice about the referrer setting?

edit: ok maybe the server was just full and i've just increased the max clients limit so it should be fine :)

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
