this: https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/toucan The OP seems to be some type of upload/download manager for rapidshare or megaupload
When using the Tucan software to back up files I found out if you were to switch the file type to 7-Zip, it ends up saving the file with the ending .zip (Zip File; Compressed File) and when I go to open it up, Widows says that it cant open it up because it is a 7-Zip file with the .zip file ending. I had the setting as follows:
Ultra
7-Zip
Are there any bug fixes to this?
not backup software. Use TOucan for that. If you're having a problem, post it in the Toucan forum.

Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
Toucan Portable 0.38 Alpha
Cross-platform and 'all OS supported' I imagine sounds tempting to developers, but it seems that many simply claim cross-platform and think that programming language can take care of all OS pairings, without much testing or more knowledge.
I tested this program in my Windows 7 PC trying to download from filesonic and it trashed my file system with ghost folders, just because it's developer does not understand what he claims - Windows support
It might be of some use to others if I post how I handled those garbage folders:
- map parent folder on network and grant all access rights
- delete folders from remote you granted rights
Never on my PC again Tucan
On the Tucan Website there is a specific list of the filesharing services which are supported by this software and no support is claimed for the filesonic service, so I guess the answer is: "You shouldn't have tried to use it".
Sorry, but I don't have any direct experience of this software so can't comment on its reliability (or otherwise) in managing contact with the services which are supported.
