Hello,

the latest Version deserves some extra info, as I have changed quite a
few bits.

New is the FTP option. Most of us have a ftp server running on their
linux box anyway so this was the easiest way to upload files to the
server. I thought about using SSH first but that requires another
external dll and the implementation just seemed like a big hassle :).

The nzb type is associated to Hellau! now and when you open a nzb file
Hellau! uploads the file to the directory (the hellanzb queue) you
specify in the Settings tab.

This means that Hellau! now integrates nicely into Windows. You don't
have to mess around with downloading the nzb file to your windows
machine and then copy it to your linux machine.

The log section is now split into hellanzb, FTP and hellau. You can
monitor your FTP activity there. If you run the FTP test Hellau!
should create a txt file in your hellanzb queue directory.

Other changes:

+ The "upload URL" in the UI is gone. I don't think it's required.
+ All settings are merged in the Settings page now

Hope you like it :)

Florian

I forgot to mention that the settings are saved to a different
position in the registry now. Please enter the information again and
press save.

Ok, I've got the new one installed and I immediately came across
something that irritated me... it's a small thing, but I can see it
irritating other people as well.

When I first started it up, it bitched at me eight times while I was
entering the server information to connect to hellanzb. My suggestion
with this is that it shouldn't try and make any connection until you
click the "Test" button, and on startup will only connect if there's a
server saved in the registry.

Just my 2c. :) Looks good, otherwise.

Right, that is a good idea. I'll put that in.

Cheers
