then the socket packet pocket has an error to report Laughing out loud

Why don't you just put it on MediaFire for now until you get your download to work. Sticking out tongue

Nice, nice. I can't decide if this or Wackget portable is better- I think this one is faster though.

Bugs:
Doesn't always popup a dialog box when you copy the shortcut-probably a program itself problem, but still

I haven't checked the registiry, mostly because, A. I'm to lazy, and b, I don't have regshot on my flash right now.

I do like it. Good job.

Update

Updated the program to a 'Development Test' release.

Thumbs Up!

Emrys - October 8, 2008 - 12:00pm

I like using Downthemall with firefox, but this is really nice to have this when using K-meleon. Until K-meleon makes a better download dialog I'm going to keep using Winwget.
Seems to work fine for me on XP SP2. The only problem is that there doesn't seem to be much interest in it (probably because there are so many firefox users that use downthemall) and the app hasn't been updated in a while.
I appreciate you putting this one out, Patrick, even if it only stays in beta.

Great!

Quick Question

Patrick Patience
DeveloperModerator
(Homepage) - October 8, 2008 - 9:30pm

Would you prefer I set the default download directory to your drive, your drives document folder (if it exists, if not, then drive), or leave it blank? Keep it mind downloading to your flash will put some extra wear on it.

Is it possible to set it

horusofoz's picture
horusofoz (Homepage) - October 8, 2008 - 9:36pm

Is it possible to set it during the installation or first run? I use a portable hard drive and have a temporary storage folder for downloads etc so if could set this so that what ever drive letter the portable was under it would recognize it that would be great but for the flash users they'd probably prefer to set it elsewhere.

PortableApps.com Advocate

Nah

Patrick Patience
DeveloperModerator
(Homepage) - October 8, 2008 - 9:42pm

I don't wanna add that extra work. Prefer to have just a standard location (or none).

Does the program prompt if you haven't set one? If so, leave it blank.

No

Patrick Patience

It will download to the WinWGetPortable directory, which seems even more confusing than having it say download to the root of the drive. No prompt.

Yeah

Default it to root I suppose. We're not gonna prompt people (one more thing to translate).

my 2 cents

millarrp - October 8, 2008 - 9:43pm

I would prefer if it was set to the drive itself. I know it adds wear to the drive but I would probably forget to move the download off of the hard drive and onto my own.
