[1.0B4] Can't use B4 any more?

[MikeS 0]

I've searched for some mention of this and can't find any.

When I run beta 4, it checks for a new version, notifies me, puts up an error saying "Bad ApexDC++ version" and something about "your version has a serious bug" and then closes the whole program.

What's the deal? I had no problems with B4 and do have problems with B5, one of the most annoying of which is that it incorrectly reports upload speeds, especially if low.

Well, I have the mentioned B5 speed bug too. Have you tried to disable update check immediately after start and restart?

Well it contains a bug, which is bad for DC apparently, so it's been disabled.

Anyways, why worry about what speed people are getting off you?

Also, use cFos and it will always give correct speeds.

We do not want previous beta builds being used on the Direct Connect network. :thumbsup:

Seems fair enough, B5 runs fine, so I dont see why anyone should have a problem using it, if they do, we're here to help :thumbsup:

There's no way to do it in the GUI. You can turn off notification but that just disables the program completely as it now just errors out immediately on load instead of after the notification. It takes an xml edit to put it back.

But where there's a will, there's a way. If anyone knows how to disable the update check, email me.

Well I just like to know for one thing, and it's nice to have some idea of when an upload will finish for another. Yes, I know you can't rely on it for various reasons but it usually gave a fairly good estimation. Not any more.

What's cFos?

cFos is the king of packages, it lets you manage how the packets are managed on your connection so when your downloading flat out on DC it dont put everything else to a crawl.

Oh, cool. Everyone running P2P should have some kind of QoS. I have Tomato in my router which does a good job of that. It doesn't give me individual user speeds or when they will finish, though.

Yes, I very much miss QoS @ router level now
