Hi All.
GetRight has been updated to version 4.1.2 and I, @Macarlo, registered user, downloaded it and now this fine release is running on my Windows 2000 Professional. GetRight is an indispensable piece of software. It successfully eliminates many of the aggravating problems that plague file downloads. We think the amount of control it gives you over the download process is fantastic.

More Information: What Is GetRight? What's New in 4.1.2.

Major new things and other nice improvements in Version 4.1.x:

• Segmented Downloading. Split a file into pieces and download different parts from different servers at the same time. This can greatly increase the speeds of your downloads. (Tips to get the Fastest Downloads possible.)
• 4.1.2 contains a number of bug fixes.

Major new things and other nice improvements in Version 4.x:

• Browser that allows you to browse both FTP sites and Web pages. (And it's a very nice browser if I do say so myself.)
• Easy function ("Daily Downloads") to download the same files, like your stock info or news, on a daily basis.
• Support for several phone numbers for your ISP so GetRight can try a different one if one is busy.
• Faces for changing the look of the toolbars and buttons. (Kind of "Skins Lite")
• One click to run or view the file you downloaded from the download window or run it from the Tray Icon menus.
• You can increase the file-list limit.
• Many other minor improvements and bug fixes.
• And all this is a FREE upgrade if you have purchased any earlier version of GetRight! Just download and run the new installer and it will update your version of GetRight. Buy it Now!
• GetRight will now show banner advertisements during your evaluation time. But there is now no set limit to the time you may evaluate GetRight to see if it suits your needs. But if you decide to keep GetRight and continue to use it into the future, please do Buy it. Purchasing GetRight will remove the advertising banners.

Fixes in 4.1.2:

Lockup for some people when adding a new download.

Add a checkbox under the Options button on the download window so you can set each file to be run/opened when done.

Added to the Export item so it can also export in HTML format...a simple little web page that has links and info about the files. Kinda cool :)

Added more status stuff for showing that it is searching for alternates.

GetRight^®. GetRight is now officially a registered trademark of Headlight Software! Added the little ^® symbol on the splash and web page.

FTP Search could trigger thinking the file is a web page. (The file was fine, just giving the message when it should not.)

If pause when a tray icon, show right image.

File size not always displayed right if FTP downloading (shows right some places, but not others.)

Fix possible problem with retrying when it shouldn't for some FTP errors.

If GRX file doesn't have a FILE item for a URL, use defaults to get a filename.

If used "Login" button with anonymous login, don't pass on to downloads.

In local filenames, change HTML escape &amp; to & (There are many others, but that's the one I've heard about people encountering...and other common ones are illegal in filenames anyway: < and >)
And fix to show URLs and filenames on the download window right if they contain &.

If error on FTP PORT command, make sure retries with PASV command.

If an empty file is being downloaded (0 bytes), handle better.

Added %J% and %-J% special values for Daily Downloads...number of days into the year.

Fix some "rollback" things

Fix some windows coming to the front ("summary" help things you see once.)

Pausing a whole bunch (like 20 or more) in-progress downloads at once could cause a crash sometimes.

Known Bugs in 4.1.2. Will be fixed in next version:

With the new Export as Web Page (Download Status, Export item), you must type in a HTML file type in the filename (.HTM .HTML) instead of leaving no file extension. Otherwise it will do the other .GRX GetRight Export format.
