DownloadDaemon and Clients 1.0rc1 have just been released! This version only offers few new features, but many bug-fixes and small improvements. This will be the last version before 1.0. And rc1->1.0 will only be bug fixes. So please, report everything you find so it can be fixed for the first stable release! A detailed changelog for 1.0rc1 can be found here: http://downloaddaemon.sourceforge.net/version_status.html Most notably, the winenrs of the Hoster-survey have been implemented: depositfiles.com and filefactory.com. (There were also many people who typed "megaupload.com" in the "Other" field. Be told that there is already a megaupload.com plugin. You just have to install gocr to use it and set the gocr_path configuration variable in downloaddaemon.conf correctly). This release will not include ARM/armel binaries (It just takes so much time to make them ready). However, the final 1.0 version will again be built for those platforms. Have fun testing this release!

Finally, DownloadDaemon 0.9 has been released. And there are more news than ever before! The most interesting things are probably the rewrite of ddclient-wx using the Qt framework. It now looks and works a lot better! try it! New features in DownloadDaemon are alternating proxies (to bypass IP-based bandwidth-limits, specified proxies will be tried if you reached your download limit), and unrar/untar functionality by utilizing the "unrar" and "tar" programs, which have to be installed if you want to use this function. tar files may be compressed with gzip and bzip2. That's why the whole download-list has been restuctured and now uses a package-based approach (many downloads can be put in one package, that will be extracted if all downloads in it have finished). Finally, support for megaupload.com free download was added. And experimental support for netload.in premium and uploaded.to premium. However, they are untested because I don't have an account. Please test them if you have one! General news: DownloadDaemon debian packages for ubuntu will not be available for download on sourceforge any more. However, you can download them from the Ubuntu-ppa (link can be found on downloaddaemon.sourceforge.net). The binaries for armel and arm will be released in the next few days (probably sunday or monday). Also, I wrote flashgot scripts for Linux and Windows (the Linux ones should also work on BSD and OS X). You can find them here: http://downloaddaemon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/downloaddaemon/trunk/tools/flashgot/ The .bat file is for Windows, the .sh file for Linux. Open the files to see how to use them. There are instructions in the beginning of the file.

Especially support for netload.in with automatic captcha recognition through gocr and a new youtube plugin should be pointed out. To ARM users: You can use your old arm_libs package, however, I'll soon upload a new package which will also include gocr and netpbm for ARM, so you can also benefit from the automatic captcha recognition. (Netload.in will not work for now, you need gocr). For users of other plattforms: Install gocr for netload.in support (It's already bundled with DownloadDaemon for Windows). UPDATE: The new ARM dependencies are now online. Feel free to install them. A complete Changelog can be found below: * fixed group-setting for downloaded files (was root, is now downloadd) * fixed permissions for created directories * added possibillity to recursively download ftp-folders (#2931619) * fixed download resumption: if resumption is impossible, start from beginning * permissions of config-files will now be set to 600 when installing * added possibility to delete file without deleting download entry at right click menu of ddclient-wx * DD now uses JDownloader reconnect scripts for reconnecting * added over 400 reconnect scripts * sort router-list serverside (case insensitive) * added plugin to download youtube videos (including playlist download) * replaced added column with time left column at ddclient-wx * better handling of CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST * extended plugin api * made some config variables not remote-changeable for more security * added support for captcha-reading for hosters using gocr (including a wrapper to make it safe and comfortable) * added support for free download from netload.in * made downloaddaemon configuration movable. Specifie -DDD_CONF_DIR=<desired path> to let DownloadDaemon get its configuration files from there instead of /etc/downloaddaemon * fixed some race conditions * removed setting for plugin_dir in favour of security * reject a download folder beginning with /etc * fixed some wait-on-error timers * fixed crash when moving running downloads up or down * brought rapidshare.com free download plugin up to date (new page layout) * fixed small memory leak in uploaded.to and rapidshare.com plugin * fixed ddclient-php screwing up the router and hoster list * use asynchroneous count-down sleep to make it more accurate AdrianAdrian BatzillFri, 06 Jul 2012 12:41:21 -0000https://sourceforge.net3a4212b3066987f328bd55f8b6ad2060142075e1https://sourceforge.net/p/downloaddaemon/news/2010/01/downloaddaemon-and-clients-07-released/Hello there. DownloadDaemon and its clients have just reached version 0.7. Source packages and binaries for linux and win32 have been uploaded, arm and armel binaries will follow soon. There were many changes in this release. the most interesting ones are probably that DownloadDaemon now runs natively on Windows and that DownloadDaemon does not require root-privileges any more. and for sure the complete ddclient-php rewrite by bungh0le. A more detailed changelog is posted below. * default config file lines are now <= 80 characters long * added init-script to default installation * fixed "server overloaded" error for rapidshare.com * made plugins a lot more crash-safe, even if hosters change their page-layout * fixed plugin-injection exploit * removed config setting for permissions and owners of new files (replaced by umask setting for the daemon) * improved daemonization and disallowed running DD as root. if DD runs as root, the daemon will automaticall receive the uid of the downloadd user and the gid of the downloadd group if possible * moved from custom logging function to syslog. instead of a log_file, you can now choose a log procedure (stdout, stderr, syslog) * changed date-format for downloads to yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss * fixed download resumption * improved env var resolution * added possibility to copy urls to clipboard at ddclient-wx * added context menu to ddclient-wx * ddclient-wx now shows the server its connected to * added possibility to save login data and auto connect at program startup to ddclient-wx * added possibility to change logging procedure at ddclient-wx * improved layout of downloadpanel (configure dialog) at ddclient-wx * added option (menu item and toolbar icon) to delete all finished downloads at ddclient-wx * complete rewrite of ddclient-php improving layout, design and code a lot AdrianAdrian BatzillFri, 06 Jul 2012 12:41:21 -0000https://sourceforge.net22e7f0f01b2dc748c522c8135ae37f355acd6446https://sourceforge.net/p/downloaddaemon/news/2010/01/a-lot-has-happened-around-downloaddaemon/A lot has happened around the DownloadDaemon project in the past few days! 1: DownloadDaemon will now not run as root any more. When installing via a .deb package, a user for the daemon will be created, else, you will get instructions when trying to start DownloadDaemon as root. This fixes a whole bunch of security issues. 2: The new PHP-client is now almost ready and will be ready for version 0.7 with a complete new design, better code layout and more intuitive usage! 3: DownloadDaemon runs natively on Windows! at least almost natively. It uses the cygwin dlls which emulate a Unix-like environment. but anyway, it works. Just double-click DownloadDaemon.exe end it will start up (hopefully). 4: The init-script has been included! As of version 0.7, a default init-script will be installed. I'm looking forward for DownloadDaemon 0.7, when you can enjoy all those features! Thanks to bungh0le for the PHP-client rewrite, Koryu for her great work on the wxWidgets client and Ingo for his many small contributions!

For now, there is only one article (about how to install DownloadDaemon on Windows using Cygwin) I wrote back then, but hopefully more content will come soon (better installing instructions, more advanced topics, etc). Feel free to contribute to the official DownloadDaemon wiki! https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/downloaddaemon AdrianAdrian BatzillFri, 06 Jul 2012 12:41:21 -0000https://sourceforge.net3f0f53f3bb8430804882bf6a5f62c55b84469c96https://sourceforge.net/p/downloaddaemon/news/2009/12/version-06/DownloadDaemon and clients v0.6 have just been released! Packages are available for download, .deb packages are in the process of being built. Only ddclient-php will need a few more minutes and will be released when it's done (it's worth the patience! There will be a lot of changes, thanks to bungh0le who rewrote the whole thing!). koryu and me will be on vacation for the next few days, so don't expect any uploads or answers on forum-posts until we are back. Now try version 0.6! good luck! List of changes is below. Adrian * complete rewrite of ddclient-php which looks a lot better now (thanks for that nice contribution, bungh0le!) * added option to set the file owner, group and permission for downloaded files (Closes: #2920686) * ddclient-php now shows a warning on the main page if DD is inactive and there are pending downloads (Closes: #2918650) * added favicon to ddclient-php and webpage (Closes: #2919386) (thanks to ingo2) * made cfgfile parser safer (better checking when writing. reduces flushed config files * made some thread-safety improvements in DD (easier to read code and more security) * added possibility to limit download speed (only for not running downloads because of libcurl limits) * added download speed regulation to ddclient-php * finally fixed usage on cygwin! Now you can use DownloadDaemon under Windows with cygwin! * added displaying of the importance of a log-entry to the log-output * added download speed regulation to ddclient-wx * fixed deadlock in cfgfile parser * possibility to specify to which interface DD should bindAdrian BatzillFri, 06 Jul 2012 12:41:20 -0000https://sourceforge.net435fbab71f7d2f484c2d9400e7bf398bc6bab938https://sourceforge.net/p/downloaddaemon/news/2009/12/new-ddclient-php-delayed/Because of some problems with the ddclient-php rewrite, you'll once again get the old style.
