ABC_OKC 4.4.0 (ABC440_OKC_final0611) Final release 4.4.0 Warning : Don't install ABC_OKC and ABC or LH-ABC in the same directory. If the files mfc90.dll, msvcr90.dll and msvcp90.dll are not in your windows\system32 directory ABC_OKC will not start and show some cryptic messages about configuration. So check your windows\system32 directory and if necessary get the missing dlls from my MissingDLLs folder and drop them into this directory and everything should be fine. ======================================================================================== Bugs fixed for this release ======================================================================================== - Applying changes to the parameters of a torrent was resetting the functionality added in 4.3.32 to limit the upload time without downloading for uncomplete torrents. - When a magnet completed its metadata, the list of trackers was not immediately updated in the running torrent. - Some warning messages about trackers did not take into account the changes in the torrent parameters from the templates. - Still a very rare traceback with the display of the popup when a torrent is loaded caused by the handling of timers, but this did not disturb the main program. ======================================================================================== New features and improvements for this release ======================================================================================== - The Download Rate Maximizer (DRM) : It works like the Upload Rate Maximizer, but it will try to maximize the total download rate. When the max number of active torrents is reached, it will start some more incomplete torrents if the download rate is staying below the max download rate by a given threshold for a given duration. These extra torrents may be put on-hold or queued back if the download rate reaches another given threshold just below the max download rate and is staying above it for another given duration. These torrents are not necessary the ones initially started by the DRM or the lower in priority in the queue ; They are chosen to adjust the download rate to the max you set in the global parameters. The parameters are the same ones as for the URM and are in Preferences/"Activity/DRM/URM". It kicks in 3 mn after ABC_OKC_starts or auto mode is switched on or all torrents are unpaused or a maximum rate is increased. No extra torrents will be started if the max download rate is infinite or while a torrent is checking or allocatin data or waiting for another one to finish checking or allocating. There are also various tricks to avoid out of control torrent runs and limit interaction between DRM and URM. The counter for DRM/URM extra active torrents in the status bar shows the total for both schedulers. - There are new options for the timeout actions available in the Timeouts tab of the torrent parameters to force the torrent to "Finished" only when it is seeding. - Switching to NSIS 3.09. ======================================================================================== Minor improvements for this release ======================================================================================== - There's a tooltip on the status bar containing the text of the first cell of this bar if it's larger than the width of the cell. - When the main scheduler mode is set to "Only seed", the caption of the main window of ABC_OKC shows "Seeding". If you dislike this feature just set the key schedmodeseedcap in the language file(s) to an empty string. "Seeding" is also displayed in the tooltip of the tray icon. If you don't want it just set the key schedmodeseedtray to an empty string. - In the Advanced Details window "Copy Peer" and "Copy Peer + Client/ID" are now 2 distinct entries in the peer right click menu (No longer need of control key to get Client/ID). ======================================================================================== Have fun !!
