New: Gopherus (Feb 14, 2023), Platform 24.1 (Feb 13, 2023)
450+ real apps (49GB), 1 billion downloads, Please donate.
If the download is cancelled while the installer is still displaying "Connecting...", the folder "$PLUGINSDIR/Downloaded" isn't removed. I can only reproduce this with FTP, HTTP cleans up fine. And so does FTP but *only* if it's cancelled once the download has started.
Is that a bug?
I tested with PicPickPortable (HTTP) & GZDoomPortable (FTP).
We don't support FTP as it is will not work behind firewalls at all. No apps will be released official that use FTP. I will disable FTP support in the next release.
So I'm currently using this -
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom/win95/doom95.zip
Is this OK? -
http://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/vendors/idgames/idstuff/doom/win95/doom95.zip
http is fine. As long as that second link winds up making an actual http connection (and not redirecting to a ftp connection), it's fine.
First link -
Remote Port : 21 Remote Port Name : ftp Remote Address : 192.246.40.185 Remote Host Name : quake3arena.com
Second link -
Remote Port : 80 Remote Port Name : http Remote Address : 147.102.222.211 Remote Host Name : patroklos.noc.ntua.gr
Am I right in thinking the second one's not redirecting and is an actual HTTP connection?
