PKG Downloader - Suggestions

[is0-mick]

Hi,
I have been trying to download the latest version of software for over an hour now, with different errors
I have the following suggestions to improve the program:

Have a Retry button, to try to re-download the part file.
(if it times out on part xx, currently you have to start from the beginning)

Maybe an option to download from part xx?

If the .part file exists, and is ok, move on to the next file.
(so you dont have to download all the files from the beginning)

Add a button to just Extract the files (from a PKG.DIR file and part files)

Thanks
Mick

Hi All,
I have still been having problems downloading with the PKG downloader (mainly due to corrupt PART files, or the connection timing out).
So I took it upon myself to sort the problem out.

I have improved the PKG program a little, it now seems more reilable and I haven't had any problems with it.
It now does the following:

Uses the size information from the PKG.DIR file to check the file has been downloaded correctly.

Checks to see if a part file has already been downloaded and size is correct, it will then continue from the that point.

Will keep re-trying to download the same part file, if the connection times out. (you can also exit the program and run it again and it will continue where it left off).

Feedback welcome (also credit to the original author).
