MobMapUpdater v1.62
Tuesday, October 16. 2007
There's a new version of the updater program online for automatic download.
This version fixes a startup problem that could occur on certain systems in automatic upload mode when the uploader was started with Windows. Besides that, it introduces the ability to download the MobMap databases from multiple mirrors. Though you won't see any part of this in the software itself (the mirror selection is handled automatically and fully transparent to the user), it allows me to spread the download load and traffic over multiple servers.
An immediate result of this new system and the addition of another download source is a decrease of the automatic database update interval from 14 to 7 days. So if you're running the MobMapUpdater in automatic mode you'll be able to automatically get a database update if your installed database is older than seven days now.
Oh, and I included a little bit of subtle advertising for SpeedyDragon that's being shown if the client is running on a german computer. But don't worry, it's just a little clickable graphic in an unused edge of the Updater's window, nothing more.
[edit] A server side error has prevented the new version of the Updater from uploading data in a correct way. This has been fixed, sorry for the inconvenience.
