It would be brilliant, but unlikely. One reason is that it would be targeting only a small section of the community.

Will this ever happen? It has been a while now.

Is this still going on? I'd love to get this

I hear tell that the wrapper that GAOTD sometimes uses doesn't run under Windows 98. So this might be one of the problems.

Thanks for letting me know MASA!

Also, it won't work with today's game giveaway

Awesome! Love the new update yet the scrollbars don't seem to work for me.

Thanks "tjchan". Now I just have to wait for something to download ... :-) LOL

Update complete. It's not as "smart" yet, but it does work...tested with both Giveaway and Game Giveaway for today.

Please let me know if you run into any problems or have any ideas / suggestions.

Changelog

7-05-07:
- Restored functionality utilizing mirror source for GAotD.
- Used new transparant background icon. Thanks stamba!
- Moved buttons around a bit to better allow the viewing of the day's offering.
- Added scrollbars to offering viewer.

Your installer managed to grab today's game giveaway when multiple attempts with other methods had failed. Thank you for the time and effort you have devoted to this project, TJchan. Well done!

The alternative is just to grab the link from Wikifortio. An additional step, but can't be that difficult to find if you already had to do so with the original page.

BillW50,

Good idea! What I find really funny was that idea just came across just now...and I just checked the forums and see your response. I'm thinking WOW. That would work just fine. =D

I'll get that fixed up tomorrow.

Hi tjchan... Why not use the mirror site? Since it doesn't use WikiFortio.

Yes, you should as if it's not functional, then it's just a waste of space. =)

I will be looking forward for your next version. Your "old one" made the whole process so much simplier and consistent. Should I remove your "old" version, "tjchan" ???
Many thanks !

I think this program may be dead now as they changed the method of downloading by using WikiFortio. There may still be a way to re-code this and I will be looking into this...

Direct link for Flashget is http://www.flashget.com/index_en.htm

Have you contacted Realm Crafter?

For RapidShare, head over to http://www.orbitdownloader.com/

OrbitDownloader is a fairly new product that takes a different approach handling "different" sites such as RapidShare and Media site downloads.

For a comparison between download managers (If you know what features you want)

Hi folks

Isn't flashget ( http://www.soft82.com/downloads/Windows/FlashGet ) working anymore for rapidshare.com ? I only download the "index.html" file... Same settings - same procedure worked for me a few days ago?

Is it out yet? :P and where can i see when it is

Why can't everyone just use this?

I mean seriously, it does solve alot of problems.

Hi tjchan, so where can i download the latest GAotD Launcher with the icon with transparent background? Thanks...

If you are having problems activating / downloading / installing the "GOTD" try using this neat little tool. Good Luck !

Hmm..I'll take a look at that. Thanks MASA - that was just the copied and pasted code of the GAotD ticker...so I didn't care to check any more on the code of the HTML.

tjchan: gaotd2.html var gaotd_SiteName = "Giveaway of the Day"; should read var gaotd_SiteName = "Game Giveaway of the Day";

Thanks stamba! I'll try and get this done soon (right now I'm busy with schoolwork so may have to wait a few more days).

Current feature requests recieved (and are to be implemented) are:

- Verify registry writability.
- Change to a better icon.
- Include FAQ on activation, etc. and common fixes.

Well I agree that it pretty unlikely that they will do it but I think they rather give sell it to GAOTD than lose cash on people using illegal registration codes to unlock their trial versions. Although giving it away on this site won't stop that from happening, at least they could maybe salvage some income from "sale" of their Office :). A hundred bucks is alot for a few programs, though decent ones.

tjchan: SENT!

Stamba: Could you please email that to me? tjchanATgmail.com

Thanks!
