WHDLoad Pack Downloader troubles
 

Hi,


I wonder why the old system of WHDLoad Packs and Updates has been changed.
Since I do not have the old files I already downloaded on my HDD anymore (at least not packed the way the quirky downloader wants them), I would be forced to download everything again and at an inacceptable slow speed.


So I am stuck with v2.6 or is there any other way to get just the files I need?

I wrote in the post why I removed the old packs: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=68704

Yes, you are forced to download the whole thing again, but do it now before new years eve as I've temporarily upped the anonymous FTP account from 50kb/sec to 500kb/sec =)

Or you could just download the games you want to update manually. Or even use a ROM manager such as ClrMAMEPro

I just use Retroplay's Dat files and update at the beginning over every month, it removes older versions and tells you what new versions you need to download!

OK, I will try to do it this year, otherwise I will try the ROM manager.


How would I do that?

They are all here on the FTP. Use a FTP client such as filezilla

Well, that changes a lot. I haven't found the WHDLoad files on the server and always thought that the Pack Downloader is the only possibility to get access to them. Never looked up the Retroplay folder... :banghead
This is even better than the old update system; I can just add those files that I need manually. :)

I need to know how this works, not really dealt with DAT files and automatically sorting them.
