Software Update: GetRight 5.0.5

Beta version 5 of the download manager GetRight 5.0 was recently released. The following bugs have been fixed in this version:

GetRight 5.0 Beta 4 Bugs (fixed in Beta 5) and Improvements

• The new QuickSync and ServerSync items need better checks and handling if your list is full.
• On the download window, the main K/Sec display was an average for the last few seconds, while the mirror/acceleration details was an exact value for the last second. Got a few too many questions from people wondering why they didn’t add up right…so made them both show the exact values ​​when both showing.
• Doing subdirectories/pages on the GetRight Browser didn’t have the “don’t go forever” item set…
• Fixed something that might cause a few crashes.
• Acceleration and speed limits really look like they’re a causing a few crashes…make them not work together again. And changed the speed limit slightly, is more likely to go a few tenths of a K over the limit; but hopefully much less likely to get in the situation that was causing some crashes.
• Added so the Save As window remembers its location.
• Improve some GetRight Browser cleanup things.
• Improve display of list sort direction arrows if you’re using Windows XP.
• Fix GetRight Browser edit and tools menus that didn’t have all the items.
• Fix for sites using CGI and if the folder-by-file-type, the folder wasn’t getting recalculated after fixing the filename.
• Added so the full path for the file is shown in a tooltip on the Download Status (for the First column of the report; actually the icon…not sure why Windows only lets you control the tooltip for the First column!)
• Added some extra checks in the dial function to not dial if “GetRight Never Dial” is chosen. From the Daily Download, wasn’t checking right.
• Added smarter checking for Escaping (converting to %##) for “%” characters. If the next 2 letters couldn’t possibly be an escape code (like has a . or Z), it escapes the %.
• Fix some things (like Importing) brass up the display of the Priorities.
• Added some better detection and handling if GetRight’s not getting any HTTP header back at all. And opens a web page with possible causes and solutions to try and help people fix it. Main cause right now seems to be WebWasher…
• Added an option on Monitoring config so you can have a very short (5 seconds) prompt in the browser asking if GetRight or the Browser should handle the download it detected.
• Wasn’t refreshing Download Status right to remove items if you had deleted by Canceling (then say No to finish later) on the download window.
• Fixed possible crash, and give a much better message, if it looks like the disk just filled up (or a CD, etc was removed) in the middle of a download.
• Made “Recently Finished Files” menus be a bit smarter about how they’re shortening paths to fit, chopping off parts of the path but keeping the filename as complete as it can.
• If Windows is set to “hide file extension for known types”, added so the Save As window will make sure the name you enter ends with the right thing from the URL.
• Fix display of tray icon percent for the first couple seconds after resuming a download (was showing 0% when should have showed the last percent.)
• Automatic mode sometimes gets files stuck “waiting for reply”. Pausing and Resuming fixes it. Added a check for the cause and make it pause and restart the connection itself.
