WrathOfTheAngels: Don't warry :)
I don't, I peacery.

A suggestion however: the messages telling me that <file> has been downloaded to <path> would be better placed in the status listbox you already have rather than requiring me to click through several dozen pop-up windows.

Either that, or a setting to switch between "only bother me when something goes wrong, if everything's fine I want you to shut up" and "please tell me when a file has been successfully downloaded so I can go look at it immediately". The latter being the current behaviour.

Trust me, this would me more bothering than only getting adviced of completed downloads. For example, can happen that, while downloading, wget fails, application popup error, wget retry, fails again, re-popup errors... Thinks if this happens with a non existing file O.o

When put at that level, yeah I agree. I was thinking of errors it can't recover from nicely or stuff like "tried downloading this same file ten times, giving up now and moving on to the next one".

Ah, ok, that would be good :)
Fixing in progress... If this time everithing will work well, maybe I won't work anymore on the downloader before the next autumn, as my work will increase from now to september.

Upped the latest version. I have followed your suggestion, and this is the behaviour of the new application

Program running really well now, downloads do not get stuck and the annoying popups are gone - great job!

Question: Are you able to retrieve the file dates and sizes from the server? If so, the next logical step for your program would be to implement an update check function. :)

Fantastic, looking *very* much forward to that.
I should really be coding a bit more on a pet project of mine as well, but I'm too damn busy playing Crysis 2 :)

Instead I want to play (and, if possible finish) The Witcher, before The Witcher 2 is released. I have bought it few time ago, but I haven't already had time to play it. It's hard to play to an impegnative game after a tiring day =_=
To do list:
1. Version checking
2. Eliminating wget use
2 a. Eliminating wget from login function
2 b. Eliminating wget from the rest of the code
3. Create a new version of the application (from the old one) that prevents from file corruption (this will make downlod very slow (at least a download will last three times a "normal" download) and maybe will be useful only for the ones of you that have a very slow connection, so will be implemented in a separate application)
tried the GUI Version last night... was really fast, even it is java, and java is generally really slow on my system :)

That's good :)
A thing that would be nice as well would be, if there is an initial check, what games have already been downloaded. I always have to look first what games I do have already downloaded to not start it twice :)
