napho · 28-06-03, 03:31 AM

[6/27/03] burst! RC 3 is now up! Lots of changes in this release:

- Fixed handling of invalid torrents, and List Index out of Bounds bug
- Fixed extra % sign on leeching in systray popup
- Fixed wrong version in taskbar
- Made "Empty Paramater" warning more meaningful
- Hopefully fixed some of those access violation read of 0000000 errors
- Allocation phase removed.. Downloads start instantly!
- Fixed adjusting upload parameters right at the start of the transfer
- Low disk space will not be shown if file exists (doesn't work for folders; yet)
- New Setting: No Quick-Load Warning
- Seed/Leech will now try to guess at what you want the local filename to be.
- Fixed "eeding" bug
- scrape URLs are now generated the "Correct" way and have an info_hash to lighten
load on trackers that support it
- Clicking Abort when seeding will bring up the correct warning now
- Idiot Proofing: Won't let you transfer one torrent more then once
- Idiot Proofing: Won't let you GO without a valid torrent loaded
- Errors are properly cleared in console windows
- Merged in patch to reduce CPU use
- Updated About box
- Removed even more debug code from downloaders; reduced memory use
- Thanks to t3kn0byt3 for new 32x32 icon and inspiration for the new 16x16

This release fixes a ton of bugs, and brings burst! very close to v1.0

My Burst! RC1 automatically stopped doing the allocation for some reason. Does it have some form of auto updating?

Hmmmmmmm...........one of my favorite programs of late

Thanx yet again for the heads-up Napho.

This version is quite a bit easier on RAM. The first RC seemed to drain 300MB in about 1/2 an hour.

What in god's name is wrong with that burst thing!

grrrrrrrrrrrr.....................

Here's the poo: Needed to reboot like yesterday, right? and movie is like 86.7% completed, right! and like my puter made the decision that rebooting was no longer an option, right? and stupid me goes ahead and reboots, no problemo - right?

wrong.....

bloody thing refused to resume my file and i mean I tried EVERYthing i could think of to force it but....no joy.

Wound up uninstalling burst and reinstalling something less frustrating.........

will prolly play with it again sometime. it just won't be when a file's nearly completed.............

Side note: problem I had was prolly my lil black cloud of fate punishing me for doing something I had no legal right doing in the first place........bwahahahahahha!

According to the guy who made it this version is much better than previous ones (which I found true). Unfortunately it has 1 bug...it doesn't resume much of the time. It's not divine intervention goldie, just a bug. Keep on downloading.
