It's the size and the redundancy of it that rubbed me the wrong way. Sorry to take your time with it, we can close the subject now

Aha! But surely the 8bit version is overkill.

Right. I guess separately downloading and checking the ASC/MD5/SHA will have to do for now.

Right. Well if you need all those in ICO format, 117 KB it is.

I would still argue that the ICO is invalid if even File Explorer can't see into it I'm guessing you have it in sizes up to 64x64. If you can tell me which icons from the Icon folder you need embedded into it, I'll try and make a version of the file smaller than 100KB.

The problem remains to trust a HTTP stream that contains the hash. As I understand it, Ketarin ignores certificate errors even if the source of the MD5 message could be trusted as untampered, i.e. coming from a HTTPS URL. Like it is now, the MD5 FileHippo reports still has to be compared with the application author's hash (I'm ignoring MITM/DNS poisoning attacks while getting the two hashes) Regarding the suggestion, I don't see MD5 as being a global/local variable; the checksum mechanism should be active for each download: Ketarin should verify the integrity of the download each time; for this, each application should include a trusted URL to the hash (e.g. PGP-signed MD5)

I'm getting the error "Cannot handle redirect from HTTP/HTTPS protocols to other dissimilar ones." because the HTTP URL I generate for Ketarin to use is sometimes redirected to a FTP mirror. I think the redirect should be supported.

There seems to be something very wrong with this 117 KB, 8-page (?) icon. Paint/VS2008 won't open it, and IrfanView can load just the first 2 embedded icons. Should it be re-created?

Thanks, I'll look into RegExp/MD5 var.

Thanks, it works!

Group support for v2 I want to keep an installer for the Opera browser. This would include the Opera Mini version for MIDP phones (2 files), the latest desktop English versions for Win32 and Ubuntu64, and the latest Opera Mobile version for my ARM PocketPC. Right now, I have to setup an entry for each of these. Ideally from the online database I would select "Opera Browser", then check/select the needed items. (Right now there are lots of conflicting names for similar applications, but that's a separate issue) RegExp engine I would need the number between the brackets of this RegExp: <option value="([^<]*)" selected="selected"> I have no idea how to get it inside a variable, is there a tutorial for the RegExp expressions? SHA1/MD5 signatures I need to make sure the downloaded files are genuine. FileHippo naturally offers "no warranties whatsoever". Most application sites offer a MD5 signature (whose URL could be part of the application group , sometimes PGP signed. I would want Ketarin to double-check this after download: that what is transferred is what is expected. The (signed) hashes could be part of the database.

I consider the following to be requirements for a fully usable version 1.0: Mirror support: more URLs that represent the same resource Group support: an application is usually part of a group, which represents the same product in a different language, packing solution (MSI,EXE,ZIP),type (installation,addons,sourcecode,JAD descriptor,file updates) A fully functional regexp engine for HTML parsing SHA-1 signatures, maybe even signed with a trusted certificate (I fear the recently revealed MD5 vulnerabilities)

I'm assuming the Ketarin.csproj in the archive works for you as-is. I've already added the CS files from CDBurnerXP with build action: compile. I'm still missing, at least, M:\CsLib\CDBurnerXP\IO\SafeClipboard.cs

I can't compile the source from TAR archive nor from the SVN checkout. After solving the references to CDBurnerXP and System.Data.SQLite.DLL, I still get a compilation error about the spurious references to SafeClipboard.
