Updated WHDLoad Demos/Games pack.

I wrote a little program that can download the WHDLoad and/or JST games you want (Specify AGA, CD32 etc) and keep it updated with new games/versions if you run it again in the future. NOTE: Does not work in Linux, even with WINE.

You will find it on the FTP in WHDLoad_Packs or here:
https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turransearch...=&httplinks=on

https://ftp.grandis.nu/turransearch/...=&httplinks=on[/B]

There is another version by mrv2k which works in the same way but with more sorting options, etc. While my version here still works fine, I can recommend you check out that one first!
You will find the post for it here: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=109171


Update 0.2b: You can now tell it to search for .lzx and .lha files and add them to the database of already downloaded games. Then it will not download games/demos you already have.

Update 0.3b: Maximum length of username and password in the GUI increased.
English_Only option is now controlled through a regexp that is modifiable in the ini file.

Update 0.4:
Can now take care of JST games as well.
New checkbox: "Download Beta". Only shown when JST is selected. I only found 4 beta JST games at the this time but added it anyway.
New checkbox: "Show Progress while downloading". When checked, shows a splash screen with what it is currently doing. Quite spammy if its downloading lots so made it an option.
New exe: Added EAB-WHDLoad_Pack_Downloader_consoleversion.exe if you would rather have the old visuals of what it was doing. Same program but this opens the CMD window you saw with earlier versions.
New hotkey: Press Shift-Escape to exit the program. If its currently downloading something, it will finish that file first.

Update 0.5.1
* What to download are now check boxes so you can run them all at once if you want.
* Got rid of the splash screen in the middle of the screen. It was just annoying. Reverted back to showing what it does in the cmd window.
* Made the gui a bit more appealing IMO. Added tool tips when you hover over stuff to let you know what they do.
* Added a "donate" button.
* INI file will be recreated from scratch if you upgrade. You'll be informed if this is the case.
* Removed the error when downloading from "Commodore_Amiga_-_WHDLoad_-_Demos/Y" since that folder IS actually empty on the FTP. We know it, do not show the error message for it.

Update 0.5.2
* Dated dir in Downloads is not created until it has something to download.
* Updated eng regexp to _(Cz|De|Dk|Es|Fi|Fr|Gr|It|Pl|Se|DeFrIt|DeEsFrIt)(\.|_)
* Includes both x86 and x64 versions. The x64 version is less likely to cause a false antivirus response. No difference otherwise.

Update 0.5.3
* Changed default FTPRoot dir to match the new structure on the FTP.

Update 0.5.4
* Just changed the default host to connect to, to ftp.grandis.nu. If you're running it already, just change from "grandis.nu" to "ftp.grandis.nu" in the ini file.
