Please DOWNLOAD THE FILE as a FREE USER to support the program.

When you start the program for the first time, there will be a prompt asking you to fill in user settings. After you’ve done that it is best to just restart the program.

RSDownloader 2.1 feature preview

As you may know the linkchecker in the current RSDownloader version (2.0) isn’t working anymore. So to fix this I started coding again (it was a minor issue though…). Offcourse I got tempted to add some other features I’ve heard and thought about myself. So I dived into the source code again and added the following things:

  • Fresh GUI
  • Theme selection (currently 4)
  • Progressbar in the download queue for each download.
  • Notification of total download quota (bottom left).
  • Order of the columns is now changeable by drag & drop.
  • Fixed error with the ‘copy password’ option.
  • Fixed error with the ‘goto folder’ option.
  • Category paths (read below)!
  • And offcourse the link-checker issue is now fixed!
  • The schedule feature is now removed.

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 “category folder” and rightclick on the destination textbox (in the Add & check links window) and you’ll be able to choose a path.

Here are the sneek peaks:

The black theme.

The category paths window (nice & tidy :-) ), silver theme.

The account window (blue theme).

The add & check links window, blue theme.

The main window, silver theme, let’s do some Quake III !

The release will be later this week so stay put, if you are interested in beta testing mail me or place a comment, I need you!

Jolien op het net!

Onder het motto “Image is everything” heb ik het WWW nu verrijkt met een persoonlijke webstek van mijn eigenste schone, Jolien de Ville. Ik heb gekozen voor Wordpress 2.5 en een thema dat origineel voor Drupal geschreven was aangepast aan Wordpress. Mijn vriendin studeert productontwikkeling aan de Hogeschool Antwerpen en het is de bedoeling dat de site als persoonlijke portfolio dienst zal doen, hier is ie!
