SpringDownloader - maps/mods/widgets/lobby

[Licho]

Downloader information here:

http://caspring.org/wiki/sd

[Licho]

Note that its currently submodule for existing CaDownloader but two parts are separate. I just used CaDownloader as a base because it has prepared infrastructure with self-updates etc..

[Argh]

If it could also do mods... that'd be sweet...

[Licho]

Yeah no big problem with that :)
But maps were easier because lobby advertises map hash but not mod hash..

[Licho]

Also note that due to technology used it takes about 15-30s to start download and discover map for your game.
This is to save some network traffic and system resources.. downloader is not seeding all maps but only those requested by others.

[BrainDamage]

both map & mod hashes are broadcasted:

hashcode is the mod hash

[Forboding Angel]

Can I keep this running in the background to donate bandwidth?

Oh also, pretty soon I will be getting a dreamhost, can you set it up as a seeder?

Not to just be used primarily, but just to provide like maybe 50 kbps so that it just helps out, preferably with less dependence on it the more seeders there are.

Is this possible?

[Licho]

Sure Foreboding .. I run mine to donate traffic too :)

And as for seeding torrents - you can basically run any torrent client with them to seed so no problem here - you can use dreamhost :)

BrainDamage - ok, thats great .. Right now some paths are hardcoded (to maps) but thats it should be trivial to add capability to all mods.

[Licho]

Brain Damage I still dont see mod hash there in those commands? Its not in battleopened..

[Licho]

Lol we just lost hosting for caspring.org (server6 part of UF went down too)..

So this system is pending some backup hosting too..

[LordMatt]

server6 is probably down permanently. Hope you guys had a backup...

[Licho]

Yeah I have backup and server can run anywhere (it doesnt need high bandwidth or space) so Im just waiting for det to redirect domain to my PC.

[Licho]

Ok I have backup downloader tracker running on my 4 years old home PC - so this system is back online now..
I hope it wont fry 2 springies, this thing, my spring and random stuff all on athlon 2500

[smoth]

wrap that link in a url tag, it fucks up the forum layout.

got a system.net webexception: remote server returned an error(403)forbidden

*edit*nvnrmind that the cleanup button fixed it!

[Licho]

Smoth - its my IIS - web server apparantly handles only 10 connections at time.. im switching to apache soon..
http error 403.9 means: I'am microsoft prodcut, therefore you cannot use me.

[smoth]

well at least you know that >10 people care enough to share their bandwidth.

[Licho]

Ok I added those MOD downloads now :)
So add your mods now, wee!

[REVENGE]

Win.
