View Full Version : Suggestion: Auto Transfer Mode

I suggest a mode where when you queue some file to download/FXP from a certain folder, when transfer is done, Flash will refresh the folder the files were taken from and re-transfer all of them or just the newly added ones. Would work both ways since we have the File Exists Rule.

Example:

I'm in C:\Music on my friend's FTP, downloading music from him while he is downloading new music himself, adding mp3's to his folder constantly.
Currently he has:
song1.mp3
song2.mp3
song3.mp3

I activate Auto-Transfer mode and queue these files to download. When Flash completes all 3 files it refreshes C:\Music and re-transfers the whole folder (or only the files it has not yet queued)

So now I have in my queue also:

song4.mp3
song5.mp3
song6.mp3

Which my friend has added to his database while I was downloading the others :)

Any chance for such a mode? Thanks!

yes that would be nice, but i do a couple of things as a walk around.

1) use schedular for a second, third, etc copy of flash
2) save the queue as the main folder, then keep adding them to queue window, this was it will start the queue again

Hey, nice trick!

I'm sure that can be done automatically as a feature though... would be nicer and more comfortable...

Any chance to get this added? :)

i'd say something like it would be in bigstars "to-do-list", but it will be awhile before we see something like this.
