Ok, I should've known better then to set some kind of release date.
I've worked 5 days with getting the downloads from the PBW server to work...
It's been the greatest challenge I've faced in programming...
First it seemed like no problems, the application just asked if the player wanted to download or save the file (The regular browser "Save AS" dialog appeared), shouldn't be a big problem getting rid of that I thought! HA!!!
Some routines worked great with my server but couldn't download the password protected files from the PBW server.
Some wanted that "Save as" dialogue.
Then when things started to look bright I for the first time found out the problems with multi-threaded programs... Oh how I miss the days of line-numbers and when subroutines was something fancy you've heard about but couldn't for the life of you see the meaning with...
Now I've finally managed to get the seperate threads to march in unison, so it wil download one file before it says that it has downloaded the next and triued to start the third (That hasn't ben downloaded..) and at the same time trying to download some other stuff aswell(?).
So now I predict a straight and nice course towards completion..
Whats left:
Connect downloads to favorite paths.
Manual turn download.
download and unpack mail attachtments.
Turn sending routines.
Deadline nag option.
More documentation (I've started on that in paralell).
