DOS ain't dead

> Unfortunately, there is no such tool and it probably won't be.

Just an idea (I don't know how config storage in NDN works): If you store some partiucular config structures you could add a version number to them and when new version would try to parse old config it could load settings at least from structures that's version didn't changed and only structures that was updated that way old config couldn't be reused would be reset to default.

Thx, I found out...

In my case it's on, where can I disable it?
I think the same purpose can be done by blinking dot/: in the clock and it's less eye-disturbing...

Thank you, we get very little feedback of usage.

I didn't write versions. Do you use 3.0.4, 3.2.0 or something older?

For some reason this google drive page with many files is for me extremely slow in 'modern' js-enabled browser mozilla seamonkey on Windows, what the Hell, it can do better a simple FTP server on a 386, now quadcore @4.5GHz is not enoug, bloody JS... http://ndn.muxe.com/download/ of course works fine.

BTW in my case the option "download at your own risk" did't appear, it always checking the file again...

It has always baffled me as to why anyone would use a service such as
googledrive which is inaccessible to a DOS browser for distributing DOS software.

You found NDN-v3.00.0005.7Z on http://www.ndn.muxe.com/download? Can you provide a deep link?

Correct. I also dislike Google Drive, but unfortunately www.ndn.muxe.com doesn't have the combined archives. I would also like to see it sending a Last-Modified HTTP header.

This is the expected explanation.

I don't get this option presented. Google Drive (in web browser) fails the virus check for this file and just aborts downloading.

I see. Maybe this explanation could be added before "NDN: Windows x64 (W64)" on http://www.ndn.muxe.com/download?

For what reason?
