Slimjet 5.0.0.0 Beta Released

Post by oftentired »

Beta Warning: This is a Beta version not yet considered stable for full public release. If you want to preserve a known working installation of Slimjet and only test Slimjet 5.0.x.x Beta you can download the portable version so that you can run it in parallel with v4 without having them interfering with each other. This will also save you the hassle of uninstalling the non-portable Beta and re-installing v4 which can be problematic.

Slimjet 5.0.2.0 Released

Will 5.0.0.0 when released still have NPAPI plugin support?

*i am very happy to see the "replace the original download" option ~: )
*bug: +right click on a download link & use Turbo download -> Turbo download process auto set thread to : 1 => very slow speed
+ download process about 50% with good speed, then IDM show asking for download job window, i say no, then the Turbo download turn to slow speed (maybe it can not get the thread are captured by the IDM)
(i am testing with download SlimJet 4x from softpedia.com -http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/B ... mjet.shtml)

The image search has been there for a while.
I believe the default number of threads should be 5. But for some servers multiple connections are not supported. If that is the case, we will set it to 1. But I will add an option so that you can change the default number of threads.

I will look into the cause of the hidden connections when we get time to breathe. It probably comes from the original Chromium project code base.
