Download Service Beta Testing

Just found out that the app does not automatically download all the movies.

Which is good to keep the data usage down, but a message might be nice to let people know.

If a folder is bigger then X then relay message that person needs to select folder for separate download.

I know that it is useless to download all movies from all folders while you will use only one.

So it is good to keep usage down, but a message is nice to know where your at.

Second what i was missing last night, a pauze button.

There are moments you need to do more on the net.

If the download is at maximum speeds, your internet goes slow when browsing.

When clicking pauze, the app stays where it is and goes further when you click continue.

Gives you the chance not to press the cancel button and think "what have i done....

Another thought : A selection option where you can select the maximum download speed.

Like when you have more things to do, you can select like 100 kbps.

Let it run and in the meantime still do the other things you need to do on the web.

(like many people have torrents these days where they can select download speed and upload speed maximums).

The app goes to task bar when you click on minimize.

Instead of going small and see it like all your other apps.

It disspears to the task bar without any message.

So firs you'll think it had stopped and crashed.

But it is still running with an icon in the taskbar.

A message that it is still running on the taskbar might be nice or give the option to minimize to taskbar.

There is also a bug in it, sorry....

When you pressed minimize or click on the show desktop button in the lower left corner of your windows bar.

The the app minimes and goes to the taskbar icon mode which for some come up the thought it has crashed.

You think it might have crashed and open a new instance to continue again.

When you press the download button it crashes and comes up with an error report for microsoft.....

Thats all for now.

Going to get some medicine, i got a headache from this, lol. :wacko3:

:confused:

I have no idea . Its been like taht since I downloaded it . My login name is blacked out . It is the correct login .

[/actually I don't even belong to facebook .

@ unforgiven, you can find the chat in the right lower corner of this browser.

There will not be any people in there yet.

To do that, click on peoples profile and go to their page.

There you can select, add as friend and then they will pop up in your chat app.

If your browser does not have the text "who's online (0)" in the lower right corner, then i dont know what to do.....

Hope it helps.

Just to clear something up, originally the app supported supported email or forum user name while I was testing. I have removed support for logging in with email in the latest releases. You need to use your forum login name. That probably explains the issue above. Sorry for the delay in responding,

Ive released 0.6.3. This new version will retry a failed download and is now a single instance application.

I plan to add a download speed controller in a future release.

I will also look into a pause feature.

Thanks for the feedback.

i wondering if free users will be able to (after beta testing) download all of the files even if they have a limit they can download each day(which is what i would expect)

Currently the thought is (in a large part due to the second server we had to get for this app to function and the costs of development) that this service will only work in demo mode for regular members. However as I audit the folders for this project I am getting caught up on the downloads section too :confused:

the main reason i was wondering is because even with the downloads fully updated nonpaying users will never be able to fully download all of the files unless its all broken down to collections to ether separate files or collections in to #,A,B,C, etc.

Well almost all of the artwork packs will be added to the downloads section. That is except the sets over 250mb. The bandwidth cost to open this up to everyone would run close to $800-$1000 a month and I just can't swing that :confused: The download service is really meant to give our supporting members a much better alternative to the FTP. But I'm still looking out for the free users so I am trying to get stuff added to the site more consistently.

Don't forget the SQ torrent either, it's not as up to date as the other services but there are alot of videos there.

Tom, is it too much of a problem to add email support back in? I think that's the only thing that is going to fix Unforgiven's login issue. WHich means it will probably be a bigger issue down the road.

It makes it a lot simpler just to stick to regular login name to be honest, thats why I removed email. I dont understand why that is the only thing that will fix it? Why won't logging in with the user name work in this case? ie Unforgiven.

It doesn't work, Unforgiven is only the display name and it seems he only has email to sign in. The only other thing that I can think of is have him create a new account with a valid username and then merge the two accounts.

UPDATE: Refreshed GameBoy Color Adverts on the Download Service.

Unforgiven's user name is basically the same as his email address. The issue is the username is in fact "gandolfs_******@comca" as its too long for the username field and got truncated. His correct login name for the forum is in fact that and not the full email address. Its not related to me removing the email address login. Just a side affect was that it worked in this single case. I dont believe it will be a problem going forward, but I realise that does not help unforgiven. Athough using the above will work.

I see what you are saying now and a quick peek in the admin panel confirmed it. I found out what username the system is expecting. I think we should be good. Thanks!

Because of this application I decided to become a paid member today and have been testing it all day long. The main issue that I ran into involved the program successfully detecting the games and downloading the correct media. For example on SNES mega man x had a .flv downloaded for video snaps but the program failed to find a title screen shot for the same game. All of my rom files are up to date with the latest no-intro dats.

Heres a list of what it's failing to find for title screenshots as an example.

I'm assuming the reason it won't download certain media is becuase the program is set to be looking for romnames from a specific no-intro .dat file. If this is the case how do we figure out what .dat file the program is searching rom names for?

I just finished doing Nintendo 64 Title Screens with the most up to date no-intro dat. These we're the games not found by the program.

indiana jones and the infernal machine (usa).zip
midway's greatest arcade hits - volume 1 (usa).zip
olympic hockey 98 (usa).zip
star wars - rogue squadron (usa) (rev a).zip
star wars - rogue squadron (usa).zip

Also just as an FYI the roms that I am using include all US no-intro roms excluding prototypes.

Something else interesting that I noticed is that on SNES while most of the roms not recognized for titles were also not recognized for something such as video snaps the lists are not identical. For example mega man x, x2 and x3 fail to find title shots but DO find video snaps.

That's because the naming on my side could be a little cleaner and there are a few missing things that I have to re add. I am actually getting everything on my side with no intro and then we will get some tests going with good tools etc and add dupes to make up for what the renamer just cant catch.
