A quick word from the author of Bytecatcher Pro, Steve Foxover, steve@save-it.com.
Version 3.2 of Bytecatcher Pro.
In this version I have mostly re-written the Batch downloading code and made it more robust. There are a couple of new features like a history file that gives you one click file install and delete. A bit easier than trying to remember where you downloaded the files to.
I am working on online help to be placed on my web site. The online help will be totally re-written. Also I am re-writing the FTP part of the program which was written about 12 months ago now.
I am improving the program as fast as possible but a lot of my time is being taken developing new server software. Venture Capital is quite welcome. I have a lot more great ideas if you've got the money.
Previous readme entries:
Version 3.1
It is a hybrid program that combines Bytecatcher FTP with a new program for downloading files in a batch mode from either HTTP or FTP servers.
- Fixed bug in FTP where URL:port/filepath :port is left on connect string
- Fixed bug in ftp where it gets file size of directory when a file and directory have the same name.
Changes from version 3.1
- Added timer to allow Bytecatcher to connect to the Internet at any time then download the batched files.
- Added HTTP proxy options
Changes from version 3.0
- compiled program in default mode instead of optimized for speed mode, which stops some strange bugs in MS VC++ V5.0.
- fixed couple of small logic bugs.
Below are the changes to the ftp section of the program.
Changes in this version 1.04 are as follows:
- Advanced display view, allows different interface for viewing FTP servers. Also allows view change while still connected.
- New toolbars
- Not blocking
- New help file
Changes in version 1.03 are as follows:
- Bytecatcher will continue Uploads when disconnected from the Internet. Or you can manually break and resume uploads.
- The address book is much better. You have many more options in the address book. You can save any number of downloads to the Address Book and then continue the download clicking one button from the address book. The Address Book will also automatically enter entries from your downloads.
- Added options for Proxy's and Firewalls. Uses Passive mode by default so many users won't even have to worry about the setup options.
- Fixed bug that wouldn't display linked directories starting with a .
- Added option in Menu and popup menu (Right mouse) to allow users to select or deselect all files in single directory.
- Fixed bug that wouldn't retry on busy FTP server's.
- Added option to allow users who get kicked off after certain period and can't reconnect to their ISP for ceratin time period to enter time period before reconnecting to the Net. (36000 = 10 minutes)
Changes in version 1.02 are as follows:
- ByteCatcher can shut down Windows after you finish downloading all selected files.
- Connecting is non blocking and will retry as many times as you like.
- If disconnected Bytecatcher will remember to continue downloading all selected files.
- If you stop and continue a download will remember to continue downloading all selected files.
