----------------------------------- recneps Sat Jan 24, 2004 10:29 pm Dowload Pauser ----------------------------------- Can turing download files? and if so, would it be possible to make a download pauser? I'm really tired of having to dload large files, just to have my comp crash or something like 5 mins before they done :\ ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 10:45 pm ----------------------------------- Turing canot direct download a fie ,it can dl image and text but with lots of limitations , only 256 characters per line , no ilegal charecters , and it has to be able to open the file and read every line in it , way to retarded to even attemps a dl program , it would never ever ever work ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:01 pm ----------------------------------- well i think u could do it if you just read each line at a time and put it in to a file then got the next. also i think u could get pased the iglleage cahr isues some how. for text files it whould probly work well. i bet u could also get it to dl the file with the windows dl thing using Sys.exec ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:11 pm ----------------------------------- Sys.Exec dosent count , because the nyour jsut using windows app , turing will crash if ther are 257 characters on the line , and in most cases there are over 1000 on a line , it would be so buggy it would be lucky to work once i belive ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- that why you got to break up the lines if they are over 250.... ----------------------------------- shorthair Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- but would you not then end up distorting code , IE BLAH BLAH BLAH , and this is where charact er 256 was broken off so now " charact / er " are seperated and that changes the download code , and how are you gonna get turing to translate an exe , into pure ASCII , and get it to split into 255 lines without making an error , just dont see the point at all , im sure there is a perfectly good freeware one out there ----------------------------------- Method Sat Jan 24, 2004 11:59 pm ----------------------------------- just dont see the point at all , im sure there is a perfectly good freeware one out there Sure there is. The whole point, however, is that as the elite programmers that we are, each and every one of us must solve all our computer software woes with our own home-brewed concotions, each consuming copious amounts of our time, sweat and blood. Or, you could wuss out and get a freeware program. :twisted: ----------------------------------- DanShadow Sun Jan 25, 2004 12:17 am ----------------------------------- Very well said Method. Too many of us, who h ave the capability to do so much, are using other peoples programs instead of doing it ourselves. Im the kind of person, who if has time, will create programs with random purposes that I may or may not need...not for the real usage of it, but t he experience. If I learn how to create many aspects of many different programs....ill have the know-how to do others in the future. :D :borg:Viva la Programmers!:borg: ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 8:35 am ----------------------------------- Alright then enough of the squabiling , lets get a method down to do this , First of all do you want it to do multi downloading of just single ----------------------------------- recneps Sun Jan 25, 2004 11:33 am ----------------------------------- What i mean is, if turing could download files (the debate has begun! 8 posts overnight! :) ) then could a program be made, that can pause a download whenever (save the downloaded portions when the button clicked or whatever) and then resume later on. Single file is good, but i gues multi would work. The bottom line is, can turing dload files without having them corrupted from being broken up as someone said earlier. ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 12:11 pm ----------------------------------- Well thts what i was talking about with the splitting of words , if you have , "Shorthair" at the end of a line and you seperate it into " Shor" , NEW LINE "thair" , do you still have the same code of do you have 2 words instead of one now , i think that this would corrupt all files that have lines bigger than 256 characters , unless you played safe and changed line at the first space over 220 characters so IE if character = "" and char =>220 then so to play safe and never go over 256 , and also seperate the line at a spcae value ----------------------------------- recneps Sun Jan 25, 2004 12:25 pm ----------------------------------- Too complicated for me :D Ill just do it in vb when i learn a little more (if its possible in vb?) ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jan 25, 2004 1:05 pm ----------------------------------- well if u did it one char at a time somting like: loop %%%code to download next char of file put stream, onechar.. end loop ----------------------------------- recneps Sun Jan 25, 2004 2:26 pm ----------------------------------- but how do you download 1 char of a file at a time? ----------------------------------- santabruzer Sun Jan 25, 2004 2:30 pm ----------------------------------- i have no idea if this is right but.. i dunnu meh: if Net.CharAvailable (netStream) then var ch : char get : netStream, ch put ch .. end if ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 2:39 pm ----------------------------------- That sounds right , ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:56 pm Re: Dowload Pauser ----------------------------------- Can turing download files? and if so, would it be possible to make a download pauser? I'm really tired of having to dload large files, just to have my comp crash or something like 5 mins before they done :\ well actually i attempted that it downloads text files fine(even some pictures)...but when it comes to exe files but when it comes to ASCII, it wont work... ----------------------------------- shorthair Sun Jan 25, 2004 5:58 pm ----------------------------------- Well theres your answer guys , but apparently the telnet ( muti chat ) guys have found a way to do it for emotions ----------------------------------- recneps Mon Jan 26, 2004 8:43 am ----------------------------------- k, Thanks guys :D
