I mean iexplorer.exe process

It would be great if a parseable system for pulling information and sending commands were available. It needn't be xml or OLE or whatever windows uses, really a stripped down equivalent of the http server would work. Unfortunately, while I can parse the http server's output, it doesn't have the features I need. For example (assuming HTTP is used) the following (with auth headers of course) would allow others, such as myself, to integrate this with other apps.

client: GET /rpc?op=listdownloads&age=30d&state=QR
The server could simply dump a tab delimited list of downloads in queue or running, one entry per line:
ID STATE URL LOCALPATH TOTALSIZE BYTESDOWNLOADED SPEED ETA TIMESTARTED
32 RUNNING http://distrowatch.com/some/large/linux.iso c:\dl\linux.iso 3235642331 1617821165 5123222 5m15s 1255952623

If there are no download id's internally, the md5sum of starttime+url+path could be used to identify a download for functions such as:

client: GET /rpc?op=pause&id=32
client: GET /rpc?op=cancel&id=41
etc

My plans for this are to push downloads remotely from a torrent caching system I wrote, and for a notification to periodically poll the list of downloads and send IMs when completed. I'd also be tempted to write my own fdmwi.

Version 3.0.870. Changes:
[+] "Download done" small notification window

Can we please have an option for this window to NOT appear? Or, perhaps an option so that it disappears after x seconds (user-configurable)? Or, even better, BOTH options? (Or, did I just not see this option anywhere?!)

Just a personal preference.

Thanks

As I know, these options exists.

for example if you don't have FDM installed, and you open various IE8 windows, and then close these windows, the process iexplore.exe is closed fine.

but when FDM is installed and of you open varios IE8 windows, and then you close these windows... the process iexplorer.exe is still opened :S sometimes more two or more iexplorer.exe are still opened.

possibly FDM plugin is not closed correctly then iexplorer.exe hangs in process ?

Process IExplore.exe is not closed, because the bugs of integration FDM30871 in IE8 causes process "WerFault.exe" which does not allow to close IE.

In my case not, I don't have issues with WerFault.exe

my issues are that iexplorer.exe windows leave opened eating memory when FDM is installed and enabled.

We'll look.

And I was being blind! Looked at the option many times, but never saw it.

If you are going to work on updating and such, fix the monitoring feature. I am using Vista, the version of FDM as downloaded from the link at the front of this topic, and the latest versions of Firefox and Safari. When I attempt to install monitoring for either, I get 'can't install --- monitoring'. For Firefox, it seems to have worked anyway to some extent - the browser options - download with FDM, etc. are there. For Safari, they are not. I am getting nada cooperation with Safari from FDM. You realize they are up to version four of Safari? What's with 'supports version three?' on the features list?

If I sound very aggressive, please understand it's because I want the excellent usage I used to get out of FDM back. If it wasn't such a desirable program, I wouldn't care. I've become very pleased with Safari, and would like to change over. Finding that I can't use FDM through it has been a real letdown.

Does this problem exist in 3.0.848 version of FDM?

Alex:
Are you updating to the latest libtorrent?

I've had (with 848) a couple of occasions where multiple fdm.exe appears in task manager. There was one main copy that took 18mb ram and a lot of copies that took about 2.6mb ram and had a command line parameter to a torrent file I downloaded.

These stay alive even after the torrent completes and is no longer listed and even after closing FDM itself.

Is this bug reproducible? How?

Using FDM in this last update (3.0.871) with the last Opera 10.10 build 1857, i canot download files by FDM !!!!

In Opera, in http bar, you can type: "Opera:plugins" and is loaded a page in html with all plugins working ....

But, after this last install FDM(3.0.871), now this page shows nothing !!!!

There is no way to setting FDM with Opera, even putting the file npfdm.dll in opera plugins directory....

please, check this !

in last FDM official release version 3.0 build 848 works very well !

thanks ! o/

Alex: when you have time can you upload 3.0.870 source code on sourceforge? Thanks

can anybody confirm if multiple selection download works in IE8? monitoring is set to Clipboard and Internet Explorer, but when I mark several lines with links and pressing CTRL+C, FDM will recognise just first line of selected block of links...

It's easy:

After you copy multiple links from IE8 ( CTRL + C ) go to FDM and in "File", "Import" and select "Import List of URLs from clipboard". Or just use the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+V.

And it's done.

There is a bug in fdm b 871. It sometimes sets "Temporary" flag for site in site manager. For example i created manually site Rapidshare.com with my own login. Then after few files are downloaded from rapidshare, FDM sets this option and all my login info disappear. Win7 x64.

p.s. There is a bug with forum in Opera 10 - all texts appear centered.
