    Sorry you lost your settings, but we are not wiping them.

    How are you updating? I've updated using setup/binaries for a long time without any settings wipe. There is a chance you're pointing the setup to a wrong directory that would cause you to lose all settings, or you change the way in which the settings are stored (appdata) during the setup process. This would cause your settings to be stored in a different area and would look like they have been wiped.

    Hello HamburgKid,

    Do you manage to get into the hub first, or can't you connect because you have no account? If it's the latter, you're going to have to try and speak to somebody who is inside the hub. Maybe they can get you in contact with the hub owner via email.

    Our new server details:

    CentOS 6.2 x86_64

    Intel® Xeon® CPU E5520 @ 2.27GHz, 2 cores

    1024MB RAM

    100Mbit uplink

    We're testing a combination of new software - specifically APC alongside NGINX and PHP so hopefully things will continue to run smoothly. As for a bit of trivia: back in the earlier days when we received similar traffic to above, Apache just couldn't cope with it (even in a dedicated environment) and we had to outsource a few things to SourceForge. Although we do have very specific needs. ;)

    We will wait a few days before activating the auto update notifications again.

    At peak times, apexdc.net can receive over 30,000 visitors a day and 12 requests per second.

    This is why we're always monitoring and looking for ways to improve our server performance. Today the site will be moved to our newly built web server running the latest technology ready to handle future releases.

    We have temporarily disabled any auto updates while the process is completed and I will add an update to this post as soon as my DNS updates on the new server.

    Update: If you see this message you're on our new server (details inside).

    Autoupdate seems to work now, if a bit too well: I want to be able to decline, but autoupdate didn't offer that - just proceeded to update without my permission. Apex needs to provide an option to disable it if there's no prompt to allow bypassing it.

    This is a combination of auto update and the result of the security vulnerability mentioned in the original announcement. Generally speaking, you have the choice to upgrade or not with a regular update. However due to the majority of our users being on a version from 1-2 years ago, we felt it was right to push this. :)

    The only way to do it would be to disable segment downloading completely. Even then I'm not 100% confident it will disable PFS. The reason it works this way is pretty straight forward: you should always share what you download.

    Hello MrRobin,

    You don't need to restore your favourites each time. Whether you use the setup file to upgrade or the Slim package, it won't touch your favourites and will keep them. Regarding the request though: I would like to see a backup and restore option in the File menu... maybe it'll creep its way into 2.0. :)

    We are releasing a 1.5.2 maintenance update to fix numerous reports from our Tracker. Some of these include logging format, removing incomplete downloads from queue and some other welcome fixes. An undisclosed security vulnerability relating to the experimental KEYP extension has been fixed; as such, we strongly recommend you to upgrade as soon as possible.

    Our next major update - 2.0 - will see an icon face lift ready for public testing. We shall announce more details when the time comes, but in the meantime enjoy the 1.5.2 update. :)
