Home Server Download Manager – Updated

September 9, 2007 — Philip Churchill

As you can see a new version of Home Server Download Manager is available and the main thing that you may notice is that the interface is now in English (Whoopee – My German is awful).

Download_Manager_English

Some of the features are:

  • Two download functions are supported, without registration at the server for everyday downloads and those that require registration with the server (eg: RapidShare premium accounts).
  • As well as on demand downloading a daily download option is available so you can schedule your downloads to take place during the day/night at a regular interval.
  • The HTTP protocol is implemented, FTP Download/Upload will be added later.

Still only available as an internal release the beta should be available from the weekend beginning the 15 September 2007.

Information obtained from the German Homeserver forums.

Do Beta Testers get a copy of the released version of WHS?

September 9, 2007 — Philip Churchill

There has been talk over on the Windows Home Server forums about if beta testers would get a free copy of Home Server. As Ken Warren a daily poster in the forums stated:

The WHS team never said that beta testers would get a free copy, although they did say that they would do “something nice” for the testers. I personally think they delivered this by giving us first shot at the homeserver.com dynamic DNS server. Testers who were in the program before August 3rd (2007) were able to get first crack at names in that space, which means that we got (pretty much) the names we wanted.

So no free copy, but we didn’t expect that anyway (did we?). Personally I would just like to be considered in the beta program for Version 2 of Windows Home Server when it is available to beta testers in 2008/09.
