]]>FDM is great!!! But i have recently isntalled Vista Home Premium, i’m also a rapidshare user. On XP i could download rapidshare links no worries. With Vista when i use FDM it just downloads all the files in one second which normally happens with broken link files. But i know for sure the links are not broken. Could somone please tell me what i have to do in order to get FDM working properly on Vista, i have even downloaded the BETA version but still no luck.
HELP!!!!!

I am not a developer so I am not interested in “stealing” anyone’s code.
2)
You’re wrong.
GPL was not created to steal software but to protect it from big corporations that stole
free software source code beacuse it was better than theirs and then put their copyright on it.
What you are saying is the prove that you don’t know anything about the FACTS.
Please inform yourself about GPL and its history before make loud sentences.

Interesting.
If you don’t have the source code how can you enhance the software as you desire?
Without the source code, the user is not free. He has no control.
Corporations have the control.
4)
“It’s not enough for them that the software is free anymore.”
Free as in free beer is different from free as in freedom.
Freeware software is available at no costs but it is still proprietary.
Users don’t pay for it but they are not free.
Free as in freedom (GPL) software is about freedom, not cost.

5)
“Those lazy and talentless idiots” you’re talking about developed an entire free as in freedom operating system, a compiler, text editors, many window managers and so on to give users FREEDOM.
What have YOU developed FOR FREE (as in freedom AND as in free beer)?
You, like Charles, are just offending random people without knowing what you’re talking about.
I repeat: please inform yourself so maybe then you will say interesting and correct things instead of loud non sense sentences.
6)
“Just on the side note even with GPL software you can’t always know “what it doesâ€. Unless you are a super programmer and can Analise every proramme you get. I don’t think anyone does that.”
Many developers checked it so you’re sure, even if you are not a developer, that the software is secure.
Can you say that about windows? 🙂
Please don’t make me laugh…
Software should not have owners.
The majority of software you’re using right now (internet protocols, email protocols etc.) were developed by people who followed free (as in freedom) software philosophy.
If they thought like you are doing, when they developed such protocols, maybe now you couldn’t use your internet connection…
Think about it and please INFORM yourself before speaking.
I am not speaking about air, I brought to you examples, computer science history, THINGS, not air…
2)
You are saying that I don’t respect the creativity of FDM developers.
I have much respect for their creativity and it’s for THIS reason that I’m asking them to license their code under the GPL.
If I didn’t like their work why would I insist so much?
Think about it, please.
3)
You say that if I don’t develop a similar software, I can’t express my opinions or suggestions.
What is the main goal of this blog, after all?
Is it not to share suggestions?
4)
You state that “the majority of users would much rather have a highly functional, usable binary version of a product that you already provide”
Who are you to say that?
Are you representing “the majority”?
Your words make no sense…
5)
“that following that trolls advice.”
I never insulted you so why are you insulting me now?
I ask the webmasters:
this blogs is about sharing suggestions or not?
If it is, then I am peacefully making some suggestions and you’re not.
If it is not then I am in the wrong places so please tell me where should I look for suggest my opinions.
Thank you.
