Update-Protokoll

2.82 (uptime: 2023.02.06)

New:

Fully shutdown.

Fixed:

When the remote HTTP server sends error data without disconnecting, causing this segment of data not to be downloaded and the final file size to not match the remote one, this scenario is likely to occur when the remote connection is unstable or frequently switches proxy IPs.

When downloading a file from the file browser, the file save path follows the catalog instead of the user choosing one.

The browser extension gets the wrong cookies from the incognito window.

Changes:

Change the default parallel option to "Fastest".

New:

Fixed:

filec crashes if the remote HTTP response headers include both 'content-range' and 'transfer-encoding' at the same time.

When downloading multiple files with the same file name but different contents simultaneously, the automatic renaming function may potentially cause errors in writing to the files due to a lack of locking, indirectly causing filec to crash.
