WHDLoad Download Tool
https://i.imgur.com/uybk92u.png
So, I've been writing a tool to help manage and download Retroplay's WHDLoad archives. It is very much the same as Turran's version except it is a lot more flexible and can do some really useful stuff. Main Features
***Warning*** IMPORTANT! Before you do anything to your existing WHDLoad sets, MAKE A BACKUP!. If you delete everything, TOUGH! Post what happened and I can try to fix the problem. To leave feedback, bugs and suggestions, only use this thread. Please try to make sure that any feedback is reasonable and constructive. Posts on the Commodore Amiga Facebook group and the r/Amiga Reddit will be ignored as they are a PITA to keep on top of. Version 0.2a is available Fixes / Updates
Version 0.3a is available The connection errors have been fixed! Thanks to Conrad Fenech and Brian Lloyd for the help debugging and testing! Fixes / Updates
Version v0.4a is available. Fixes / Updates
Version v0.5a is available. Fixes / Updates
Version 0.6a is available Fixes / Updates
Version 0.7a is available This release should hopefully fix the remaining FTP download and connection issues. Make sure that you allow the program through your firewall when Windows asks. You may get a false AV notification. This is due to how Purebasic wraps Window API commands. Just whitelist the executable if you want to use the program. I've included the source code in the zip file. Fixes / Updates
Version 0.8a is available There's two versions in this release. A stable release based on the v0.7a FTP code and an unstable version based on the v0.6a FTPEx library download code that crashes the GUI sometimes. The reason is, there were still a few users who had connection issues with the new code. Having both versions available, should hopefully mean that everyone can use the tool. Only one major addition. There is now a 'Make Folder' button which is there to create new folders out of your existing downloads. For instance, if you have a full set but only want to copy ECS/OCS games to an A500/600/2000/3000, just untick AGA and CD32 in the filter, press the 'Make Folder' button, select a new folder, decide whether to keep the folder structure and press go. Fixes / Updates
Version 0.8b is available This is a quick update that fixes the Turran FTP address as it has changed. You can either delete any prefs files and re-create them or change the ftp address line in any existing prefs file to ftp.grandis.nu with a text editor. Version 0.9a (Test Version) is available This is a test release which has HTTP support for downloading from the Turran server. Hopefully this will eliminate the connection issues that have been reported in previous versions. FTP is still supported but is slower due to waiting for connections and folder changes. Fixes / Updates
Just a quick update to the full release. I've added several suggested filters and squished a couple more bugs. There is also an x86 version in the archive again. Version 1.1 is available Fixes / Updates
Version 1.11 is available Fixes / Updates
Version v1.12 Released Fixes / Updates
This version adds a couple of feature requests. Namely downloading by category with 0-Z sorting and also a facility to make a new folder from an existing downloaded set of files with different sorting and filtering. There's also a couple of squished bugs as well. Version v1.2 Released Fixes / Updates
Version v1.21 Released Fixes / Updates
Version v1.3 Released This version adds CRC32 checking and support for the new Beta - Demos folder in retrogame's folder on the Turran server. Fixes / Updates
Version v1.3 Released Fixes / Updates

I'm going to ask for a backup function JUST IN CASE the latest slave does not work.
It can perhaps just "move" the old slave to backup dir, or ZIP or 7zip it up into a backup file, with directory structure intact to "restore" if possible? Thank you! |
Extremely nice, can't wait to try it if you can add me to your list :) (fingers crossed) :)
|
great!!!
download link please :) :) :) |
Alpha test links in first post!

Getting can not load ftp folder when clicking load data. am I doing something wrong?
|
Very nice. Let me know if you want it hosted on the FTP with full access to its directory.
Noticed you called it EAB FTP in the program. Its called TURRAN FTP as we try to distance ourselves from EAB (by request). The donate button (appreciate that) goes to donate towards this forum. I do have a link there are well, but you might donate to the wrong thing if you just set a sum and click donate. The correct link is https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc....gif:NonHosted |

It does not give proper error messages returned from the FTP it seems. Make sure you are not already logged in and that the username and password is correct (default ftp/amiga should work, but only for one connection per IP) |

Are you using your own account or the ftp/amiga one? |

I'm not sure whether it's fixable without writing a custom FTP procedure which is a bit beyond me at the moment. |
I see. Yeah, that sounds like a pain. I was lucky with my FTP routine in my version in that it grabs the entire login text, so easy to see errors..
I edited my post a few posts up as I found some "wrong" things =) 4 anonymous users downloading from the Retr0play packs right now, so seems to work fine for others (and me). Quote:
