Hi all.
I would like to enquire if others have experienced problems with the last
freeware release of the download manager Net Transport?
(This is v1.87.258 from the about screen.)

My experiences relate to use under Windoze 98SE and IE6.

Since updating to the last freeware build, two issues have arisen.

1. Browser integration now seems suspect.
Clicking a download link in the browser will often result in the launch of
Net Transport without it being primed for the download of the referenced
URL. IE will then attempt to download directly.

1a. On occasion, similar to the above, Net Transport will launch - and then
crash - following clicking a link in IE.

Since discovering Net Transport it has been my download manager, and has
been updated with new releases of the software - without any problems at
all. Only since 1.87 have these issues appeared.
It kind of makes you wonder if 98 support is a bit flaky.

Comments?

The whole purpose of posting in this newsgroup was to see if others have
experienced the same problem under the same OS. Having found out, I will
contact the author if appropriate.

Had a bad day? Your response was uncalled for (IMHO).

My response was polite ...... and reasonable. Your post seemed to
indicate that you have been using previous versions with no problem, and
the latest upgrade gave YOU problems.

As you can tell from the number of "helpful" and "called for" responses
to your problem with that rather obscure downloader you use, either no-
one here has a problem with the update, or ( most likely, IMHO ) no-one
here has ever heard of it before. So my suggestion that you contact the
developer seems very reasonable to me. IMHO.

Maybe you need a "good day".

And GOOD-DAY to you.

I've also got v1.87 and running win98, but can't say I have noticed
any unexpected problems with it so far. If fact it runs extremely well
for me - I think the best download manager I've used. I especially
like the new downloaded percentage figure that appears in the drop
zone when downloading.

One suggestion might be to try out the new 1.9. Although it now has
some pay-for features, I believe the main functions are still free.
