I bought Aria Sound's Aurora Choir on the current 89% off special from Plugin Boutique, because the Aurora Choir demos sound great. After I paid, I received the serial number with a download link for the software. Whenever I purchased from Plugin Boutique before, I would click on the link and a downloadwould start. But this link took me to pulsedownloader.com. At first I thought pulsedownloader.com was a popup ad, but I realized I need to install this Pulse downloader app and register for an account with Pulse before I can download Aurora Choir. Personally, I like to keep my PC running lean and mean, so being "forced" to install some third party app really annoys me. I've opened a support ticket with Plugin Boutique, asking them if I can get a direct download link for the software, but so far the only response I have received is an auto-responder (it's only been a day, so). This Pulse seems a bit shady to me. On their website, they promote how great their downloader is, but they do not give any details about how it installs or anything - just a bunch of promotional crap. Does anyone know if this Pulse Downloader is OK to install? And does anyone know if I can uninstall it as soon as I get my Kontakt Instrument downloaded and registered?
[UPDATE: Plugin Boutique responded. I'm actually pretty impressed. 2 days is not bad for a reply. Here is what they said, which I suppose I'm OK with: "Yes, you will require Pulse to download and install Aurora Choir but you will not need to run the downloader every time you wish to use the software. If you don't wish to install Pulse that's no problem - let me know and I will refund your purchase."]
If the downloader freezes, you don't want to re-login, and you're willing to experiment, go download the Procmon tool from Microsoft, use Procmon to find the file that the downloader is stuck on/waiting for, and create the file yourself to the directory (New File > Text Document, make sure you use the name the downloader is looking for, we just want the empty file). I had a lot of freezes running 2 downloaders at once, and used this method to unfreeze the frozen downloader every time it happened.
It's essentially a bet that between the download completing and the actual block being processed nothing will go wrong, which, given the internet and hours long processes, is unlikely to happen. And using more download threads likely increases the probability this will happen because the downloader processes blocks sequentially, and you can have up to 30 blocks on disk waiting.
The instructions XML file has timeout_millisec="3600000" in it, so I'm assuming that's for each download thread. I'd argue that waiting an hour is absurdly long, but the 1 hour timeout doesn't seem to apply to the downloader itself.
As far as I can tell (by tracing with Procmon), the downloader will spawn a new download process for every block. If it was a new thread within a process, you could persist the curl session and pass it to the thread, which could reuse the existing TCP session. This is an issue because TCP sockets are (usually) tied to a process, so every new process start means the downloader will need to reestablish the connection and hit TCP Slow Start in the process.
Admittedly, this doesn't impact the download other than make it slower. I've got gigabit fiber and the downloader would come close to maxing it out (downloading 900Mbps), fall off to 2Mbps, and then ramp back up. Repeat for every group of blocks that are downloaded.
Improvement: Download processes should persist for use by multiple blocks (check for instructions, self terminate if no new ones after a time limit like 30 seconds?), so that the TCP connection is reused. This does require more invasive changes (each downloader process will need to watch for instruction files with its thread id & the parent pid instead of passing it to the process as part of process creation, ), and you
This made Windows flash the title bar periodically because it stopped responding to input events. I'd bet the downloader is doing work on the UI thread, or doing UI on the work thread. Or just single threaded to begin with.
The downloader does some funky network stuff, Fiddler couldn't catch it doing any network requests, so it might not be respecting proxy settings. And of course there's no way to set a proxy server to use.
In addition to the URL downloader, Downloader by AFTVnews also has a small integrated web browser. Thanks to this, you can comfortably search for the addresses of the files you want to download. Simply copy the URLs, then paste them in the download section to download the corresponding files.
H, one other thing that might help, on another machine on my home network, also Windows 10, the NativeAccess downloader works, however that is not the machine that is used for music, the machine where it doesn't work is where all my various music libraries and DAW are installed and I tried it again and it still doesn't work.
Our downloader supports a wide range of video qualities, including MP4 format, SD, HD, FullHD, 2K, and 4K. The available video quality depends on the original upload. If the author uploaded the video in 1080p, you can save it in the same high definition quality.
According to the Scrapy docs, one cannot use response.request in a downloader middleware because request object will be attached to response only after passing all other downloader middlewares. Though I have noticed that in case of redirect (to captcha page), responses inside a downloader middleware have not only empty request field - but also empty meta (pycharm debugger tells me that the response is not related with any request). How could I force Scrapy to keep the meta while processing inside a downloader middleware? I have placed meta=response.meta to every request but still getting errors about missing meta keys - and absent meta attribute aswell.
The request object is available as an argument to the process_response method of downloader middlewares, not just process_request. Like @paul-trmrth suggests, instead of response.meta or response.request.meta, use request.meta, and this is propagated through all middlewares on both ends of download and through to the spider.
Did you ever want to convert and download Soundcloud to mp3 from the Soundcloud website but could not? This is one downside of the SoundCloud platform. Fortunately, there are tools such as SoundCloud downloader to get around this limitation.
Before you run Configuration Manager setup to install or upgrade a site, you can use the setup downloader standalone tool to download updated setup files. Run the tool from the version of Configuration Manager that you want to install. Use updated setup files to make sure your site installation uses current versions of key installation files.
When you use setup downloader, you specify a folder to contain the files. The account you use to run the tool must have Full Control permissions to the download folder. When you run setup to install or upgrade a site, you can specify this local copy of files you previously downloaded. This behavior prevents setup from connecting to Microsoft when you start the site install or upgrade. You can use the same local copy of setup files for other site installations or upgrades of the same version.
Specify the path for the folder to store the updated installation files, and then select Download. Setup downloader verifies the files that are currently in the download folder. It downloads only files that are missing or that are newer than existing files. It creates subfolders for downloaded languages, and other required components.
Download path: To automatically start the verification or download process, specify the path to the download folder. When you use the /NOUI option, the download path is required. If you don't specify a download path, setup downloader prompts you to specify the path. If the folder doesn't exist, setup downloader creates it.

A trojan-downloader is a type of trojan that installs itself to the system and waits until an Internet connection becomes available to connect to a remote server or website in order to download additional programs (usually malware) onto the infected computer.
Trojan-downloaders are also commonly distributed as disguised file attached to spam emails. The attached programs are typically labelled using legitimate-sounding program or document names, such as 'invoice' or 'accounts.exe', as a simple form of social engineering. If the file attachment is opened, the trojan-downloader is installed.
Once a trojan-downloader has been installed on a machine, it will try to contact to a remove server or website, where it can either directly fetch additional files for download, or find further instructions from the attackers on where to find the files.
