@Hikari06 Congratulations for this awesome application. Would you mind if I ask you to give the possibility of setting parameters for proxy connection (IP, port, username, password)? Type is HTTP. It may be useful also for who would like to use VPN or something like this.
Thanks in advance.

This program is absolutely awesome! It has saved me so much time and energy that I can't even believe how easy to use it is. Thank you so very much for this!

I'm getting a lot of 404 errors while trying to download digital versions of my games. Is this normal? More failures than successes right now.

Right after my last post I noticed this too. Attempts are failing however, this is the first time for me. I've been using this for a couple of days now.

Report your problem at the bottom of USBHelper under "other" then "Bug Tracker"

This issue probably came from Nintendo's servers, maybe they were under maintenance or something.
In any case I don't think it was directly linked to the app but keep me posted if this happens again.

You don't need to configure the app to use a VPN. If set up properly, your traffic will automatically be rerouted and your ip address hidden

Please clarify.

I believe you mean that an app does not need any special configuration in order to use a VPN link, provided the VPN's route is set as default, as it normally would be. As written, your statement could be understood as "You don't need to use a VPN with my app, because if my software is set up properly, your address will be hidden anyway."

VPN aside, I suppose a proxy configuration might by helpful to people with multiple ISPs.

No I meant that setting up a VPN is the only thing one has to do. I have never said that the app will hide your ip address

This is a minor complaint, but any reason this looks so "pixelly" when running in Bootcamp on a Retina MacBook Pro? Quite a lot of apps are the same

Any chance you're running Windows 10 on your high-resolution screen? If so, Windows has probably automatically selected a scaling factor greater than 100%.

Yes, Windows 10 on a Retina MacBook Pro. Thing is, my desktop icon text, etc, looks great - any way to apply that look to apps that look pixelly?

First you should confirm that the problem is being caused by scaling. Go into display properties and make note of what your scaling is set to. You have to keep in mind that the game icons are just going to be stretched from the 100% size, even if the 100% size was a scaled-down version of a higher-res screen shot.

Second, yes, apps can be written to specifically react to different scaling factors by providing higher-resolution assets. That's probably not a priority for the developer though.

The next release will enable you to resize the banner ;)

Thanks for making this change.
Question: Will those of us that have already donated get a PM with a Donor Key?

...and to those that have not yet donated, please do.
This app must take a ton of work to keep up to date and is well worth it!

I was wondering if you can add some kind of option that lets you ignore the limit of number of times the software automatically attempts to "Retry Download"?? Can be helpful for people who have bad internet connections when they want to have a large queue and be away from the pc...
Also is there a chance you could at some point add the feature of being able to move titles up and down the download queue list??[/QUOTE]

Thank you for your message, your suggestions will be taken into account.

Can you add this? Because I also have a bad slow connection and it disconnects every while
Thanks,

@Hikari06 I agree with nexusmtz: proxy configuration could be very handy for different purpouses, not just VPN. Would you mind if I kindly ask you to consider adding this feature in the next release, if it is possible? Thanks in advance

Yeah I'll try to add that option in the next release then.

I will increase the max attempts to 100, it should be more than enough.

I would prefere a protable version. Where every setting is saved into the program dir.
Istead of AppData dir.
