IP.Downloads 2.1 Installed Here

Posted by bfarber, 21 December 2009 · 8 views

While we announced planned features for IP.Downloads 2.1 in October, we've been a bit quiet about it since then. This wasn't because we had forgotten about IP.Downloads, or because we had some secret thing going on in the background we didn't want to relay to you just yet. We simply wanted to take the time to test out the changes a little bit before applying them live to our site. We know everyone would be quite upset if the resources section was down for a prolonged period of time, so we knew we had to get it right.

I'm pleased to inform you that we've now updated IP.Downloads here to version 2.1, and it seems to be running quite well. There's going to be bugs here and there, given that this is a pre-final release (please report all bugs you find to our bug tracker, as always), however on the whole we think you'll like what you see.

So head on over to the resources section and take a look at the new and improved download manager.

For those of you who contribute, you'll find a few nice features in this release which you might wish to take advantage of. While these are highlighted in the previous blog entry I linked to, a quick summary is as follows:

You can now submit multiple files at one time per file record.
You can now submit multiple screenshots per file record
When submitting links you can identify a link "type" (i.e. a mirror, for instance)
Due to the improved file uploading process, a progress bar is now shown for all files uploading

We look forward to your feedback!

No, not unless anyone has submitted a file since the update with a mirror.

Basically, all that happens is when you submit a link now, you can select the type of link. Go to the upload file form and you can see what it looks like from a submitters view point. To a downloader, these links are listed on the download file page just like any other files/links.

Can I choose how many Mirrors I want to allow? Say allow my members 4 Mirror links per file?

MegaUpload
Rapidshare
HotLink
etc..

By the looks of it, screenshots are currently broken, and it's not possible to buy/download to paid resources at all... Will these issues be fixed soon?

Paid downloads is actually not a feature of IP.Downloads from what I recall - it's a custom mod. I guess if you're submitting paid resources you could enter in your payment page as a mirror?
