<p>Jup here it is, the latest version of the easiest and most functional downloader tool for rapidshare.com premium account owners! The previous (2.1) version was a huge success with more than 5000 downloads, the new version fixes some bugs while introducing more features, here they are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>File uploading</strong>!</li>
<li>Proxy server support</li>
<li>Integrated Rapidshare.com administration</li>
<li>Support for other http based downloads (<strong>no </strong>megaupload or anything like that)</li>
<li>Fixed &#8220;finished files downloading 2 times&#8221; issue.</li>
<li>Automatic queue save and restore.</li>
<li>Fixed number of small bugs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Some notes:</strong></p>
<p>1) This software is for <strong>PREMIUM USERS ONLY</strong>, to make downloading and uploading to and from rapidshare more easy. It will not work without a rapidshare.com account!</p>
<p>2) You need to enable<strong> Direct Downloads</strong> in your Rapidshare.com settings (<a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/?p=53" target="_blank">instructions here</a>) or all files you download will be +-5kb.</p>
<p>3) The <a href="http://dominiek.eu/rsdownloader/manual.php" target="_blank">QuickStart </a>manual has been updated.</p>
<p>4) Copy upload links by selecting the uploaded files and pressing CTRL-C or right clicking and selecting &#8220;Copy selected upload links&#8221;.</p>
<p>5) Updaters, please uninstall the 2.1 version. Importing the settings file is not supported but could be manually. Both version can be installed together though&#8230;</p>
<p>6) You still need the .NET Framework (&gt;= 2.0), which you can download <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/net/" target="_blank">here</a>, Vista users already have this, XP users might!</p>
<p>Special thanks to Raj for beta testing!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Please download the file as a free user to support the application!</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/163082998/RSDownloader22_setup.msi.html " target="_blank">Click here to download (as a free user!).</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-167 aligncenter" title="2008-07-26_194005" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194005-282x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="229" /></p>
<p>About a year I&#8217;ve been thinking about <strong>extending RSDownloader</strong>, let&#8217;s call it &#8220;broadening the horizon&#8221;. Since Rapidshare.com downloads are essentially the same as http/ftp downloads, I came up with an idea to develop a type of extendable application (at this time called Sputnik), which will consist of 3 parts:</p>
<ol>
<li>A <strong>core framework</strong> which will provide lowlevel file downloading (http/ftp) and managing.</li>
<li>A number of builtin <strong>plugins </strong>along with 3d party (user) - developed plugins.</li>
<li><strong>One application</strong> to access all of the functionality.</li>
</ol>
<p>Essentially this is what it comes down to : users can <strong>spice the application</strong> in the way they want, for instance if you don&#8217;t have a Rapidshare.com premium account you can just disable the Rapidshare.com plugin. If you&#8217;d like to access downloads from another location, you can enable the &#8220;Remote access&#8221; plugin. If you want to add functionality to the program so it will automatically blink your backyard lights (lol) or plainly extract all rars to a specified folder, the Sputnik framework will be available to you so you can go ahead and get your hands dirty&#8230; Offcourse writing your own extensions requires some programming knowlegde.</p>
<p>The program itself will come in just one flavor. It&#8217;ll also include some basic plugins. At this time prototypes of several plugins have been implemented:</p>
<ul>
<li>A <strong>Rapidshare.com plugin</strong>, for Premium users which enabled download<strong> and uploading</strong> files.</li>
<li>A <strong>YouTube plugin</strong> (to download youtube videos)</li>
<li>A <strong>remoting plugin</strong>, so you can start downloads from the other side of the globe or just chat one on one)</li>
<li><strong>Notifications plugin</strong> ; so you can play a sound or display a balloon tip when transfers are finished/failed.</li>
<li><strong>Http(s) and Ftp</strong> support.</li>
</ul>
<p>I know some of these ideas might sound a little abstract but I haven&#8217;t really got a full roadmap as to where I&#8217;d like to go with Sputnik. Bottomline is that it will be open and expandable, easy to use, stable and fast. Let me keep you guys warm with some screenshots:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194403.jpg" rel="lightbox[166]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-168" title="2008-07-26_194403" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194403-300x236.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>Configuration of the Rapidshare.com plugin (which allows automatic uploading).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194418.jpg" rel="lightbox[166]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-169" title="2008-07-26_194418" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194418-300x236.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>Downloading a few files, both Rapidshare.com and normal Http (itunes is the worst&#8230;)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194646.jpg" rel="lightbox[166]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-170" title="2008-07-26_194646" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/2008-07-26_194646-300x236.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>Uploading files to Rapidshare.com, notice how the download link is shown as the destination.</p>
<p>I hope you guys like it and understand where I&#8217;m aiming at. A first release will take place somewhere in September, together with a new website (and forum) which will be specially devoted to the application. My wish is that all of the features in RSDownloader 2.1 will also be a part of the first Sputnik version so RSDownloader users will upgrade to Sputnik. Please let me know what you think and what features you would like in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Narf! Just in the middle of the exams  rapidshare.com decided they&#8217;d give their website a little makeover (for the worse I think). This affects the login and link-check process in RSDownloader 2.1. I managed to fix the application in a jiffy (about half an hour) and now it&#8217;s up and running again. I also added a failsafe, as of this version (something I should have done in the first place), the success-strings can be found and changed in the settings.xml file. So if RS.com goes in for restyling again, this won&#8217;t require me to rewrite code&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you should do:</p>
<p><strong>New users:</strong> nothing, just download the latest version <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/163082998/RSDownloader22_setup.msi.html " target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Updaters:</strong></p>
<p>1) If you would like to keep your settings file, backup settings.xml from the install directory somewhere. If you can ditch your settings, read the bold line below.</p>
<p>2) Uninstall RSDownloader.</p>
<p>3) <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/163082998/RSDownloader22_setup.msi.html " target="_blank">Download the new version here.</a></p>
<p>4) Add the bold lines to your backed up settings.xml file so it looks like this:</p>
<div class="codeblock">&lt;Configuration&gt;<br />
&#8230;&#8230;<br />
&lt;SuccesString&gt;Overview of the Account&lt;/SuccesString&gt;<br />
&lt;DownloadSuccessString&gt;like to download the following file&lt;/DownloadSuccessString&gt;<br />
&lt;/Configuration&gt;</div>
<p>5) Save and copy the file to the install directory and start her up!</p>
<p><strong>Note that if you are willing to reconfigure the entire app (which might not be that much work&#8230;), just a reinstall and an install will do fine!</strong></p>
<p>FYI : All download links have been updated&#8230;</p>
<p>Yes, I do expect gratitude!</p>
<p><strong>BTW: all older versions of RSDownloader will not work anymore, accept the multiplatform downloader&#8230; =&gt; USE RSDownloader 2.2!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Het wordt een algemene tendens dat grote softwarehuizen en online diensten eigen API&#8217;s publiceren voor ontwikkelaars, kijk maar naar <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=3435361" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/services/api/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> en natuurlijk <a href="http://code.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>. Het komt er dus op neer dat er verder gekeken wordt dan de standaard web-gebruiker, de developer wordt nu ook maximaal voorzien van krachtige, goed werkende API&#8217;s voor een scala aan platformen en programmeertalen waardoor online diensten steeds makkelijker te benaderen zijn binnen third-party software, dit kunnen we alleen toejuichen.</p>
<p>Enkele jaren terug zag ik een leuk projectje genaamd <a href="http://grant.robinson.name/projects/montage-a-google/" target="_blank">Montage-a-Google</a>, nu heb ik als kleine test een soortgelijk (maar beperkter) programma&#8217;tje geschreven dat de <a href="http://dev.live.com/livesearch/" target="_blank">MSN Live Search API</a> gebruikt. Op een uurtje was de klus geklaard, hier zie je Collage-a-gogo in werking:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2008-05-11_110223.jpg" rel="lightbox[160]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-164" title="2008-05-11_110223" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2008-05-11_110223.jpg" alt="" width="411" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Wil je zelf ééntje maken, dan kan je hier zowel de <a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/LiveSearchDemo.rar">broncode als het programma downloaden</a> (in de bin/release map&#8230;).</p>
<p>Om zelf aan de slag te gaan met de MSN Live Search webservice heb je nodig:</p>
<ol>
<li>Visual Studio 2005/2008 (eventueel de gratis <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/express/" target="_blank">Express-edition</a>)</li>
<li>Een developer-id, makkelijk, snel en vooral gratis te verkrijgen <a href="http://search.live.com/developer" target="_blank">hier</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Allereerst maken we een nieuw project aan binnen Visual Studio 200x, ik heb een Winforms applicatie (2.0) opgezet maar je kan evengoed een ASP.NET of WPF applicatie aanmaken.</p>
<p>Hierna voegen we de referentie naar de Live Search Webservice (<a title="http://soap.search.msn.com/webservices.asmx?wsdl" href="http://soap.search.msn.com/webservices.asmx?wsdl">http://soap.search.msn.com/webservices.asmx?wsdl</a>) toe door rechts te klikken op je solution en &#8220;Add web reference&#8221; te kiezen, vervolgens geef je het adres in en druk je OK.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2008-05-06-202811.jpg" rel="lightbox[160]"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2008-05-06-202811-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="2008-05-06_202811" width="244" height="170" align="left" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2008-05-06-202854.jpg" rel="lightbox[160]"><img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2008-05-06-202854-thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="2008-05-06_202854" width="168" height="171" /></a></p>
<p>Zo, het zware werk is voorbij, je kan nu van start met de webservice, hieronder staat wat voorbeeldcode om een afbeelding te zoeken, meer sample code is te vinden op de <a href="http://dev.live.com/livesearch/" target="_blank">officiële pagina van de Live webservice</a>. Belangrijk om weten is dat je niet enkel op het web kan zoeken, maar ook afbeeldingen, video, adressen en telefoonnummers (in de States), &#8230;.</p>
<div class="codeblock">private void SearchImages(string keyword, int howMuch, int offset)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest();searchRequest.Query = keyword;<br />
// Replace with your own developer ID from <a href="http://search.live.com/developer">http://search.live.com/developer</a><br />
searchRequest.AppID = &#8220;***************&#8221;;<br />
searchRequest.CultureInfo = &#8220;en-US&#8221;;</p>
<p>SourceRequest[] sourceRequest = new SourceRequest[1];<br />
sourceRequest[0] = new SourceRequest();<br />
sourceRequest[0].Offset = offset;<br />
sourceRequest[0].Count = howMuch;<br />
sourceRequest[0].Source = SourceType.Image;<br />
sourceRequest[0].ResultFields = ResultFieldMask.Image;</p>
<p>searchRequest.Requests = sourceRequest;</p>
<p>_msnSearchService.SearchAsync(searchRequest);<br />
}<br />
catch (SoapException ex)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(<br />
&#8220;Oops! Something went wrong while querying for images, the following error occured : &#8221; + ex,<br />
&#8220;Error while querying&#8230;&#8221;, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);<br />
}<br />
}</p>
</div>
<p>Veel plezier ermee!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may know the linkchecker in the current RSDownloader version (2.0) isn&#8217;t working anymore. So to fix this I started coding again (it was a minor issue though&#8230;). Offcourse I got tempted to add some other features I&#8217;ve heard and thought about myself. So I dived into the source code again and added the following things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fresh GUI</li>
<li>Theme selection (currently 4)</li>
<li>Progressbar in the download queue for each download.</li>
<li>Notification of total download quota (bottom left).</li>
<li>Order of the columns is now changeable by drag &amp; drop.</li>
<li>Fixed error with the &#8216;copy password&#8217; option.</li>
<li>Fixed error with the &#8216;goto folder&#8217; option.</li>
<li>Category paths (read below)!</li>
<li>And offcourse the link-checker issue is now fixed!</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">The schedule feature is now removed.</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Being a daily user of RSDownloader myself I often thought about introducing some kind of system that allows you to select from multiple download folder, most people have a directory for either music, movies, series, whatever. This is now simple to do, just add a &#8220;category folder&#8221; and rightclick on the destination textbox (in the Add &amp; check links window) and you&#8217;ll be able to choose a path.</p>
<p>Here are the sneek peaks:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Af en toe krijg ik de gelegenheid om enkele van de theoretische zaken die ons worden aangeleerd om te zetten naar concrete zaken, het zij als taak of uit eigen initiatief (meestal als ik iets niet begrijp <img src='http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> ). E&eacute;n van die zaken is het plotten van de zogenaamde <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski_triangle" target="_blank">Sierpinski driehoek</a>, een fractaal die wordt geproduceerd door 3 transformaties toe te passen op een willekeurige veelhoek. De opdracht bestond er echter uit niet alleen deze driehoek te plotten, maar die opnieuw te transformeren (draaiing en verschuiving&#8230;). Het plot-programmaatje heb ik in C# geschreven (mocht eender welke taal zijn&#8230;), het resultaat zie je hieronder!</p>
<p align="center">[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/anim.swf" height="250" width="300" /]</p>
<p>Een leuk voorbeeldje van wiskunde &quot;in de praktijk&quot; <img src='http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Voor  het vak &quot;Algoritmen en Datastructuren II&quot; hebben we een aantal zoekalgoritmen gezien (Brute force, KMP, Horspool, Boyer Moore en QuickSearch). Om het KMP (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%E2%80%93Morris%E2%80%93Pratt_algorithm" target="_blank">Knuth-Morris-Pratt</a>) algoritme wat te doorgronden heb ik een C# implementatie hiervan gemaakt:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/abracadbra.png" title="abracadbra.png">
<div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/abracadbra.png" border="0" alt="abracadbra.png" width="384" height="269" /></div>
<p> </a></p>
<p>De broncode van de KMP search kan je <a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/knuthmorrispratt.txt" target="_blank" title="knuthmorrispratt.txt">hier vinden!</a>. Misschien zal ik ook één van de andere zoekalgoritmen implementeren en hier posten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Om wat voeling te krijgen met <strong>.NET 3.0</strong> en vooral met <strong>WPF </strong>heb ik een simpele <strong>streaming radio speler</strong> gemaakt die je ook kan bedienen vanuit de system tray. Dit klein projectje heb ik  dan ook toepassend TrayRadio gedoopt, enkele screenshots ter illustratie:</p>
<p align="center"><a title="TrayRadio Player" href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/trayradio_frm.png" rel="lightbox[121]"><img src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/trayradio_frm.png" border="0" alt="TrayRadio Player" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><a title="trayradio_tray.png" href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/trayradio_tray.png" rel="lightbox[121]"><img src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/trayradio_tray.png" border="0" alt="trayradio_tray.png" /></a></p>
<p align="center"><a title="TrayRadio Webcam" href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/trayradio_webcam1.png" rel="lightbox[121]"><img src="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/trayradio_webcam1.png" border="0" alt="TrayRadio Webcam" /></a></p>
<p>Via het hoofdscherm (of tray icoon, naast de tijdsweergave rechts onderaan&#8230;) kan je een zender kiezen en afstemmen. De led links onderaan geeft een statusweergave. Verder verschijnt ook het logo van de zender, genre, een weergave van de RSS feed en kan je ook nog de webcam van de zender bekijken door over het webcam icoon te bewegen.</p>
<p>De configuratie van de zenders gebeurt via een simpel xml bestand:</p>
<div class="codeblock">&lt;Station&gt;<br />
&lt;Url&gt;http://mp3.streampower.be/donna-high&lt;/Url&gt;<br />
&lt;Quality&gt;4&lt;/Quality&gt;<br />
&lt;LogoUrl&gt;http://&#8230;/donnaLogo.jpg&lt;/LogoUrl&gt;<br />
&lt;Title&gt;Donna&lt;/Title&gt;<br />
&lt;WebcamUrl&gt;http://&#8230;webcam004.jpg&lt;/WebcamUrl&gt;<br />
&lt;StationGenre&gt;Pop &amp; dance&lt;/StationGenre&gt;<br />
&lt;StationWebsite&gt;http://www.donna.be&lt;/StationWebsite&gt;<br />
&lt;RssSource&gt;http://www.donna.be/rss.xml&lt;/RssSource&gt;<br />
&lt;/Station&gt;</div>
<p>Op deze manier kan iedereen zelf een zender toevoegen indien deze zou ontbreken, de meeste Vlaamse zenders heb ik reeds in het standaard bestand ingevoerd.</p>
<p>Klik hier om TrayRadio te downloaden, indien je <strong>Windows XP gebruikt</strong>, download dan eerst <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&amp;displaylang=en" target="_blank">.NET 3.5 hier</a>, bij Vista gebruikers zou alles normaal moeten werken.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/TrayRadio.zip">Klik hier om te downloaden (uitvoerbare bestanden)!</a></p>
<p><strong>Edit :</strong> <a href="http://www.dominiek.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/TrayRadio_source.rar">Klik hier om de broncode te downloaden!</a></p>
