FreeRapid Downloader 0.83 beta versions

Thread has been closed - FreeRapid 0.83 final was released.


Hello,
I decided to release BUG FIX version of FreeRapid Downloader - version 0.83. I collected a bunch of reports and I hope I fixed the important ones (like problems with updates on Win7). FreeRapid reached 500 000 of users so testing becomes really important to me.
I would like to ask all technically experienced fans of FRD to try beta testing version first - before I can sign it as final version.

Although this version does not bring some new "visual feature" I included a support for resuming of downloads.
Version 0.83 does not include speed limiter yet, since it requires some more developing...0.84...

This version uses your configuration files from these folders, but I strongly recommend you to backup configuration directory first. Once you run this version, you will probably lose your links if you return back to older version. You can also use

frd.exe --portable

switch, which is using separate directory for configuration files.
This beta version generates app.log in (--debug) mode by default.

What I need from you:
Use it , find reproducible bugs and report it here. Please, don't ask for new features in this topic (I already have my TODO list full for next 2 years...).

Hello,

there is a bug in 0.83 beta1. Newly it supports download resume but it seems that it tries to resume interrupted download even with RapisShare.com (free user) plugin which probably causes a problem. Below is the communication between FreeRapid and RapidShare servers:

Do not use download accelerators!

The reason for the RapidShare's nervous reply is probably Range: bytes=18835344- in the FreeRapid's request. After the RapidShare reply, FreeRapid shows this error message: ERROR - File input stream is empty. Unfortunately FreeRapid tries the same request several times and then gives up. FreeRapid probably should not try to resume downloads on RapidShare.com (free).

PS: Thank you for the great downloader! It is almost perfect. The only major function I am currently missing is ability to run a script after finishing a file download - mainly to change the client's IP address by reconnecting a modem or by renewing a DHCP lease.

Hi,
what version of free rapidshare plugin do you have?
Pause button should be always disabled while downloading from RS free.

-------------------------------------

Hi,

I updated the plugins after installing 0.83 beta.
The version is: RapidShare.com 1.0.9

Just now I tried to update the plugins again but it did not offer any update.

When the active RapidShare download is selected the Pause button on the toolbar, the Pause item in the context menu and in the Downloads menu is active (yellow).

...and yes RapidShare.com plugin is active and RapidShare.com_premium is inactive.

pabouk

Weird. It should not be allowed (while downloading).

It's old well known bug, which is difficult to solve...
