GetRight 5.0 beta 2 is released! What Is GetRight?
GetRight is a Download Manager program to help you download files from the Internet. Most people have already experienced the problem...you are downloading a file, and your modem gets disconnected, or call waiting interrupts, or your computer crashes, or any number of other problems. Then you have to restart the download from the very beginning, losing all the time you had already spent.
GetRight solves this problem by allowing you to resume a download. If you got part of the file before the problem, GetRight will restart the download in the middle so it only gets the rest of the file, without having to restart from the beginning. This makes downloading your files much easier and faster.
GetRight has many other more advanced features to help you download the files--from re-dialing the modem automatically to turning off the computer when it is done getting the files (so you can just leave it alone to do the work!) You can even set a time when it should dial the modem to get the files...so it can do all the work in the middle of the night while you sleep.
There are too many other features to list here. If you have ever thought "I wish when downloading I could do ...", there's a good chance GetRight already does it!

GetRight 5.0 Beta 2 Bugs
? The new QuickSync and ServerSync items need better checks and handling if your list is full.
? "NoSplashes" no longer works. Really is a side effect of the protection system which is what is showing the splash screen now. No way to have it not yet--hopefully in a future version! But beta 2 does hide the splash much sooner than beta 1.
? Some versions of Windows seem to cause GetRight to crash when closing the the GetRight Browser using the X in the titlebar...but not using File->Exit. Wierd, still working on it.
GetRight 5.0 Beta 1 Bugs (fixed in Beta 2)
? Crash at 0x004B-2F91. If you get this crash (or any others), try downloading beta 2!
? QuickSync new toolbar buttons didn't get a tooltip.
? "Acceleration and Mirror details" report on the download window needs to remember column resizing.
? Made the first field wider for entering the registration code (didn't fit right maybe just if large fonts?)
? QuickSync doesn't handle user:pass embedded in the URL right. And Server Sync didn't handle them right on the form either.
? "Acceleration and Mirror details" report on the download window doesn't refresh after using the Mirror Manager.
? Added so registration code shared between accounts if more than one user account on the computer.
? Enable Speed Limiting for accelerated downloads for testing...used to cause a few crashes with all the extra coordination. Hopefully all fixed now!
? Checking for new versions says "yes" when beta 1 still is the most current.
? Fix so splash gets closed as quick as it can.
? A few people were confused by the "no items" shown in empty lists, so removed it.
? Enter Code from the installer is now Always on Top (or can lose the window behind the installer.)
? Fix so if turn off all the items in the main tray-icon menu you don't get doubled separator lines.
? Added so holding SHIFT when picking items on the Recent Finished Downloads menus will open the folder for the file instead of running the file.
? Fix so if browsing to a directory that doesn't exist, the error message stays on top of the browser window so can't do other things in the background and get errors.
Other Notes
Because of the protection system used on the new version of GetRight, it can show in process status programs as having two processes running. This is a part of the protection system and is normal--it's only really running once.
