some stuff like "ShadowSorcerer_v1.0_DeFrIt.lha" does not match.

Good plan to start with =) I've put 0.5.2 on the EAB FTP which changes it to "_(Cz|De|Dk|Es|Fi|Fr|Gr|It|Pl|Se|DeFrIt|DeEsFrIt)(\.|_)" on first startup in the INI file.
Also, I'll include a x64 executable. It seems x64 versions of my programs are less likely to trigger a false antivirus response. Other than that, there is no difference.

Changelog:

Code:

    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)(\.|_)

If you already have 0.5.1 running though, you can just edit your ini file and change the ENGLISH_SKIP_REGEXP to

Code:

ENGLISH_SKIP_REGEXP=_(Cz|De|Dk|Es|Fi|Fr|Gr|It|Pl|Se|DeFrIt|DeEsFrIt)(\.|_)

Also, I'd like to thank those who donate from this program. If you have a registered EAB FTP account, send me a pm when you donate and I'll see if I can give you something small back as a token of appreciation.

This is an awesome piece of software.
I do have a question.
I have many gigs of WHD load games already bit they may not be named the same and are not in the same directory structure they are just in one big folder.

Can I somehow tell this app to look in that folder and pull anythign it can find and rename and import into the folder that I'm running it in?
I don't mind re downloading but don't want to hog up the annon user resources for too long.
I looked at the thing to create your own FTP user but I won't hit 50 posts for another year or so. I'm more of a lurker but this software is SO awesome I have to get it working properly.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Download a ROM manager like ClrMAMEPro and then run your collection through the .DATs on the "EAB File Server" which you'll find under:

/Commodore_Amiga/Retroplay

This way you know what have and you're still missing.

Ok looks like I got some reading to do!! Thanks for the kick in the proper direction! Much appreciated!

Nice job on the EAB Downloader, very useful.
Is there a way to save the password ?

Yes. Manually edit the ini file and add password= below username=

Code:

$INI_username = IniRead($INIFile, "UserInfo", "username", "")

$INI_pass = IniRead($INIFile, "UserInfo", "password", "")

Awesome program - Occasionally I get an error while downloading so I had to run it again (this has to do with the FTP of course not the software itself).

Does the program check files for correct size when going through the already downloaded files? Thanks!

Hi Turran,

I'm looking for this kind of feature but don't understand how to use it.
If I just want to download english and french versions, how should be this string configured?
Thanks for adavance!

If I remember correctly. the "database" file that tells the program that it finished downloading the game is only created once the game is fully downloaded, so if it aborts in the middle, it would try again the next time.

Just remove fr from it and check "English only". It'll then take both english (default) and fr games

ENGLISH_SKIP_REGEXP=_(Cz|De|Dk|Es|Fi|Gr|It|Pl|Se|DeFrIt|DeEsFrIt)(\.|_)

If the problem is that you do not have an INI file, you'll need to run it once first and the INI is created.

Thanks a lot Turran, it works!

Macca · 09 May 2020, 11:34

Just noticed this as I have several collections and never sure which is up to date or not.

Just seems to work which is what everyone wants so thanks to the efforts on this!

Hello it seems the FTP now asks for a password even with the 'free' ftp account ?
Edit : Sorry someone pointed me to the ongoing drama in other threads ...

Have the WHDLoad folder locations changed since the ftp server has been rebooted as I'm getting folder not found errors when running the downloader?

Thanks

K

Retroplay · 05 July 2020, 17:29

Yes it has.
It used to be /Commodore_Amiga/Retroplay/
Now it's /Retroplay WHDLoad Packs/

keithshaw3 · 05 July 2020, 18:04

Great thanks, worked a treat

quantum8 · 07 July 2020, 00:59

awesome to see it all back up and running again

Turran · 08 July 2020, 15:37

Indeed. Change your existing INI files to this

Code:

FTPRoot=/Retroplay WHDLoad Packs/

I also updated the version on the FTP to 0.5.3 to correct this, but no reason to download it as its only the INI change thats new.

peo · 12 July 2020, 10:58

So now that the FTP is up and running and reorganized.. how do I make my local mirror to reflect all the changes (except for the mentioned WHDLoad stuff) ?

Is it possible to get MD5 checksums for the files available ? Preferrably in the file list as per my previous suggestion.

Turran · 15 July 2020, 08:45

You should not have to do anything except change the FTPRoot (see previous post from me) if you've used it before. It should pick up where it left off.
