I think I found the problem. I had it crash on me and it pointed to the function that escapes the download process. I'm testing a fix now.

If you want a direct download from the FTP for mrv2k's version, you can use this link

Thanks Turran.

Been thinking about it for a while now, I think the beta games should have its own folder and not just thrown in with the normal games. It would make it more compatible with HstWB scripts as that looks for a beta folder, Unless it really don't care and will add them anyway.

Pinball Brain Damage does not download for some reason.

Why does "Clean Files" still insist on deleting the main exe files, lst files, its own prefs files and the dats?

Because you've set the download folder to the folder you've got the program in.

Then we will put that down to me being an idiot and we will not speak of this again.

Nice work on the updates though. Its become a handy, handy tool.

I'll put a check in the next version that only lists lha and lzx files.

when I want to "LOAD DATA" I got a repeating loop of

Connected to grandis.nu on port:21

...

if i try to connect to FTP with FileZilla there is no problem. At the moment i cant use 0.6.

UPDATE: with "use ALT FTP" it works

tuf · 18 January 2022, 21:12

Just tried the tool and it's great - works perfectly. Thanks so much!

mrv2k · 19 January 2022, 21:12

I've attached a test version of 0.7a which has a new FTP procedure. If you have connection issues before, can you give this version a go and see if it works. I would suggest running it in a new folder so it can download the dat files again. You dont need to copy any other files as it doesn't use DLL files any more.

There is definitely no virus. For some reason, defender doesn't like some Purebasic made programs. If you want to use it, just whitelist it. You can also have a look at the source code on github.

Jma80 · 20 January 2022, 08:58

Test version fixed download issue for me. I had to convince Avast antivirus to let me run it. .

mrv2k · 21 January 2022, 20:18

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

Moved FTP procedures to Windows API functions.
Fixed FTP fallback related console and UI crashes.
Fixed non unicode characters in download name saving as empty files.
Fixed open beta folder button.
Removed requirement for PB_FTPEx libraries
Clean files now only lists lha & lzx files.
Added experimental support for Linux Ubuntu 20+ & MacOS (Source available on GitHub. Executables will be released in 0.8a).
Added check for lists folder. Creates if not found.
Added donate button to main window.
Added version information to executables

Download links in OP.

Hi, thank you very much for the effort with this.
This is the first time I try the WHD Download Tool.

Version 0.7a gives me an error before any data is loaded. With version 0.6a, I get the same message, but it works when checking "Use Alt FTP" (experiencing some app crashes while downloading though, only a minor hassle).

ftp.log

Code:

Connected to grandis.nu on port:21
Opening FTP Folder - Retroplay WHDLoad Packs
FTP connection closed.
Error - Nothing downloaded! Please check the FTP status.

Using Windows 10 (21H2) with firewall openings in place. Filezilla works.

eispic · 30 January 2022, 10:39

The same by me
can not be downloaded

tuf · 31 January 2022, 21:40

Same here - no luck with the latest version. Previous version worked fine.
