RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Hova on 09-07-2003 at 01:32 AM

I'm having an issue sort of. No matter what I do, I get the 2.00.0053 installation file. can someone rename their file to 2.01 or something and put it somewhere? Its odd that I get the same file over and over, even after clearing my cache, cookies, and deleting windows (not really.....).


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Hova on 09-07-2003 at 01:55 AM

The 2.21 version is not on the server. I figured that out after downloading 2.20.53 50 times. Info thanks to chrono.

Happy happy joy joy, Happy happy joy joy...


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Wolkje on 09-07-2003 at 04:56 PM

I take it, that's the same version as the already downloaded 2.21 (named 2.20) ?


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by musicalmidget on 09-07-2003 at 04:56 PM

:blah!:

The file name isn't that important. :-/

We appreciate all your work Patchou! :)


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Patchou on 09-07-2003 at 05:43 PM

yes that's the exact same version, it has always been labeled 2.21, only the filename was msgplus-220.exe so some people were confused :)


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Hova on 09-07-2003 at 06:13 PM

Even after clearing my cache 10 times, I kept on getting the same file. 2.20.53. That was last night though.


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by axiouS on 09-07-2003 at 08:21 PM

I've upped a mirro for ya.

RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by quark on 09-08-2003 at 08:32 PM

I just wonder: Why haven't Plus! asked me to update to this version? Do I need MSN Messenger 6.1 first or something? I got the update to 2.20.53 automatically, but I haven't heard anything about 2.21. Why?

you don't need 6.1..... and plus! does NOT have a auto-update
RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by dotNorma on 09-08-2003 at 08:36 PM

* dotNorma Agrees with boo ghost


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Damian on 09-08-2003 at 08:43 PM

auto update, that might be good thing to have added on to msgplus program if possible...
and... it will not tell you to update msn messenger, because msn 6.1 is only a BETA version so far... :)


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Choli on 09-08-2003 at 08:59 PM

Plus! does have the Auto-Update feature, but it's disabled to avoid the site to go down.  (that's right, isn't it, Patchou?)

Well, I wasn't lying when I said that Messenger Plus have updated itself automatically earlier. It has. :) I just wondered why this automatical update have stopped, but Choli answered that question (kind of).

Not really coz that auto-update has never been used, or if it has it was used LONG ago....

Yeah, is was used long time ago, it was quiet cool :P
RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Patchou on 09-09-2003 at 04:47 AM

actually, thanks to my sponsor's servers, the auto-update is back since last july. You just never noticed it because it checks for update every weeks and you always update Messenger Plus! the day I release new versions :).

Also, if you installed Messenger 6.1 before you instsalled Plus! 2.21, you'll never get an auto-update notification... this was caused by a bug in the software that is now solved, so no new version of Messenger should prevent the auto-update to do its job (at least, as long as you see a Plus! menu in your contact list window).


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by BooGhost on 09-09-2003 at 05:11 AM

:| weird.... and talking about updates.... whens 2.21.55 going to be released?


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by quark on 09-09-2003 at 05:23 AM

So, we've concluded that Plus! has an auto-update feature, and that it's turned on. I have MSN Messenger 6.0 innstalled with Plus! 2.20.53. Can you please explain why I don't get a reminder in Plus! to update to version 2.21, Patchou? :P

Because Plus! checks for a new update once a week. Wait a week and you'll get the update ;)
RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by quark on 09-09-2003 at 04:46 PM

Ah, naturally! *Waiting, patiently* :P


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Chrono on 09-11-2003 at 01:21 AM

lmao ill wait to see if it's true :P


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by dotNorma on 09-11-2003 at 01:39 AM

I think once in an older version of plus! i got an auto update... but i visit the site so much now i update it before auto update can


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by quark on 09-12-2003 at 05:44 AM

Whohooo, I got the update! Brilliant! :D


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by Pipish on 09-12-2003 at 11:32 PM

w00t yaya :banana: great work patchou i wish i could do that


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by dudboi on 09-13-2003 at 04:09 AM

wont it be better if the server just sends you the file the moment it is uploaded to the server? After all, if every one downloads from the server, the load would be the same.


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by quark on 09-13-2003 at 10:43 AM

Another option is to program "something" :) that goes through every logged on user which uses Messenger Plus! and send the file to one (or maybe ten) person at a time, and not to 100.000.000 persons at the same time.

I'm not sure how easy it is to program something like this, though, as I haven't got a clue as to what information Patchou has access to.


RE: Messenger Plus! 2.21 by bojero on 09-13-2003 at 05:36 PM

I know that this is a great program but how do I get MSN6.1??

No!! The load would be very bigger. If you get the update once a week, the server doesn't have high load because people donwload the update not the same day. If all people gets the update the same day... the server goes down in less then 5 minutes (N)

That's a bit difficult. Patchou's server should have some "messenger client" connected (signed in). The you add that contact to your contact list and when a new update is aviable that contact (Patchou's server) would send you a message telling that and / or send the file. Anyway, I don't think that would be the best option (also high loads for the server when a new update is released, and also the server sould have a database of which people have which version) The best way is as it is now, in my opinion :)

That sounds like a good idea, actually. The client should of course not be an actual MSN Messenger client, but something Patchou programs to communicate directly over the Messenger protocol. This way, he can make it pretty efficient with threading and stuff, but the problem is that Microsoft have announced that they are going to encrypt the protocol so that no other clients than their own can communicate over it.

But you're right -- It works as it does now, anyway.
