iViewNapperLite 20101016 running perfectly.
Big ups to you, mce, and thanks.

I've updated the iView Downloader batch file version. You can grab it from here.

There is no "minimal" download because the JSON parsers have been changed and "xml.exe" has been removed (no longer needed).

Server downloading session limit is reached. Please try again in a few minutes.

It worked eventually so here's a mirror:
iView_Downloader_v15.80

Thanks Anywho for the prompt update to the batch file downloader.

A general question for everyone out there...
I generally try and download in my off peak time 2am-8am.
I usually am up late and select the programs I want with the batch file, and then kick off the download before I go to bed, which means I am using peak time before the 2am crossover to off peak.

Does anyone else have a good method to schedule a download of a batch of programs?

I was thinking of modifying the existing batch file to be able to select the programs and then allow me to save the download.xml file it creates. Then schedule a different batch file which would load up the xml file and connect, etc, and then proceed to download the files at the scheduled time without any user interaction.

Not sure of the complications, or if this is feasible, but any suggestions would be appreciated...

Thanks.

I have created a modified version of the iView_Downloader batch file for you to experiment with. You can get it from here.

You must get the download_list.xml file from the cache directory and put it in the same directory as the batch files. You must do this before you close iView_Downloader_v15.80 because iView_Downloader_v15.80 clears the cache directory before it starts and ends!

Let me know how you go - I haven't tried to "schedule" it yet

Hi mce

Thanks for this.
I'm new to this forum but was quite happily using the ABC Iview Downloader for MacOSx v6.7.3 until recently when it now fails to read an index.

Do I need to use a different downloader now or is it possible to enter a manual path using this script if ABC have modified their index?

New here, well my first post but have been reading with much interest.

I'm having a problem with iView Downloader v15.80. Many of the files are coming up as "invalid selection. Just wondering if its happening to anyone else.


Thanks for all your work
