thought that would be enough xd

One idea may be that emulating this approach could suffice, perhaps;
   with DP-Updater as the "torrent client"???

thanx man :-)

i coded it in autoit,  and you're welcome to use anything to make sad better.

on that note, i always wondered why sad was'nt recoded with a Gui...

and yes, i know the torrent client is big, i cant seem to compress it, nor did i find a better or smaller one, most are linux builds.

the dht file is'nt updated by the program, but could be if i had a direct link.

edit, whoohoo, got a sticky xd

The GUI version is my fault... When i get some time i will punch it out. It also needs to have the DriverPacks Finisher updated and added.

i can do the pageview in the app, but thats as far as it goes.

guess i should keep this offline then xd

thanx for the awnser mate

Without sufficient ad views, we wouldn't be able to keep DriverPacks.net online — with only donations I'd have had to pull the site offline a long time ago. Keeping it as fast as it has been for years now would be unthinkable, as would be excellent uptime (see http://stats.pingdom.com/4aym23zeo7kc/191206/history for reference).

I would love to streamline the download process (and I'd love to offer HTTP downloads), but alas hosting isn't free (or at least reliable hosting isn't).

Again, thanks for your contribution, but please keep the above in mind. I kindly ask you to direct users of your app to the download page, where they can then download the .torrent file manually (and hopefully occasionally click on an interesting ad).

Thanks for your understanding.

But yes i think if you made that modification then it would be permisable.

ill get on that right away

Simply modify your app so they must view the download pages of the packs they wish to download and then it will be perfect .

I am not saying you can't do a downloader just that you need to avoid robbing us of our page hits in the process .

Thanks for understanding

Jeff

thats understandable, but sucks at the same time xd

guess ill remove the link then...

so, if i for example open the dowload page while still downloading the torrent, would it count?

would generate the pageview, but still automate the task

Wim Leers. AKA Bâshrat the Sneaky founder of this site and our leader. made me disable it.

He wants people to go to the download pages themselves and physicaly SEE the pages.
Otherwise I would still have this feature built into DriverPacks BASE.

Your project (as it is) goes against the wishes of the founder of DriverPacks.net.
to be inline with his wishes your app should direct the users to the download pages of the files.
IE open a browser window to the download page so they can select the download.

If you like i can ask him to explain it himself in case i have not worded it properly.

I would also like to remind the reason Wim made me pull the updater in DriverPacks BASE is because we need page hits to attract advertizers on our site. that is how we pay the server bills.  To keep in line with his wishes the user must be directed to the page to click the download links (viewing the page).
