Thanks 13 December 2006 06:35
First, thank you for writing this. This is something that's
desperately been needed since at least Win98.
Now, when I started using this, it started fine. showed what it was
downloading, with a arrow script showing how fast it was coming in,
with percentages. Now all I get is something like:
00:26:26

/cabpool/ie6.0sp1-kb896688-windows-2000-xp-x86-enu_57950e4fbed19228cd

a9077d4b6d5.exe [4062472/4062472] ->
"../client/win/enu/ie6.0sp1-kb896688-window
s-2000-xp-x86-enu_57950e4fbed19228cd32acf537946a9077d4b6d5.exe" [1]
It'd be nice if you kept the arrow script like the start with all
that's downloading.
Also do you know there's an odd bug in the CMD window. Whereby the
command will stick, and only if you hit the return key will it
continue. I've seen that with .BAT files, as well as your program. I
have no idea what causes this, but I don't think that during the
first set of downloads (the one with the arrow script) it did this.
Only during the 2nd loads like above, did it start doing this.
Finally can you please add a resume feature, so you can turn it off,
and restart it later on? Even with my cable, this was downloading
from 6:30p, to 12:30a, and I have no idea how much longer it'll need
to go. That would be especially useful for dial-up users. Some have
automatic cut offs from their ISPs
Again, if this works, a great piece of work. I'll definately be
writing about it on the local BBS (www.maysvillekybbs.com)
