Yes, we'll consider this the ultimate stress-testAlright, keep me posted as I've never downloaded that much with the app xD

@Hikari06 Hopefully you have something to de-obfuscate the errorGot this error today, whilst downloading a game:
Yeah, I do !@Hikari06 Hopefully you have something to de-obfuscate the error
I understand why you do it though...
I've Been using it all day!! This is AMAZING!! So far I have been able to install everything I have downloaded with out issues.Awesome, I'm glad you like it !

It took me a while to re-find the "download manager" 'til i saw it on the right, lol, but the application is incredible!! I hope you do this for a living because the application is insane!! Very well done!
Concerning clickonce, the application doesn't need it to work, it could work very well as a stand-alone app, but I just see it as a convenience to help me keep the application updated. There have been a few critical bugs lately which I am happy I have been able to patch quickly thanks to it. Btw, if you want the app as an archive, I don't mind sending you one, not at all, I'm just not publishing one here because I know it will get outdated soon, and people will not necessarily know an update is available.
Yeah I can easily generate a standalone app, it works very well since there is no registry modification involved, I'm just not proposing it publicly because I'm fixing bugs everyday xDI definitely agree with your position on clickonce making distribution and updates easier. Perhaps a future endeavor to ease cross-platform use (eg with mono or wine) could be to take the appdata/local/Apps/2.0/* folder the clickonce generates and just put it in a zip. The exe is in there, along with a bunch of DLLs and some configs and whatnot, so in theory it should work if it's all thrown in a zip for someone to extract in their non-windows environment and run. Not sure on your use of registry or anything like that which might complicate it, but usually it's fairly straightforward to get an exe running in linux if it's bundled with its dependences. Granted, this means no automatic updates for people who choose that, but you kinda are buying into that when you run something out of a zip anyway.

Awesome, I am glad it went smoothlyJust finished downloading everything from the key site. Flawless execution. I can't love this app anymore than I already do.
As a make work project for you,
What do you think of adding an import feature to the batch commands. It would scan a folder and move and rename the folders to your naming format by getting the Title ID from the title.tik.
Great app, BTW.
"DLC, VC (only install them on redNand!*) and Updates support, and file hashing to ensure your downloads are always perfect"
What is redNAND and is it safe to install DLC on sysNAND?
About your recent discussion on the released format, the installer package is also what makes me not want to try it.
I prefer standalone portable programs, which doesn't have to install itself on the system and writes to different folders, or register the installation in the "config panel/install uninstall programs".
I also read you use %appdata%, which is a folder I try to avoid, I'd prefer all programs to store their config and all the generated files to the local folder, or personalized folder. (another reason to make it portable)
the best compromise I'd agree with is that the installer doesn't install, but downloads and update new files at launch in the local folder.
not being an installer but a "version checker", which gets a portable package or individual modified files from your repository.
I also think I read that you include .net4.5 inside your installer? while it's nice for user who don't understand their computer, I also prefer programs not including it, making the choice to install the version we want, and making the installer smaller.
No, your point is valid. It's just that unfortunately I have to make decisions at some point. Now that I have 1k+ downloads on the app, there is absolutely no way I can satisfy everyone ^^thanks for the answer.
And about the appdata, it's taking space on my boot partition, while I like the cache to be on the same drive than the program (in case of portable programs, that's not useful to keep the cache on another computer ...) and in that case it would have to re-download them, not the contrary.
I prefer having access to all resources in subfolders instead of scattered on different locations on my computer. I guess it's just my own preference.
