A new version of AmiFox is ready for release, I fixed some more bugs the last days. The 0.3 Version is a big step forward for usability of AmiFox. Most of these features I already introduced in the blog entries here so just a short recap.

Downloads as always on the AmiFox Page or with the Update check inside AmiFox.
If you using an own AmiFox Server please note that you must update to the latest Version to get all the Features, The Current Version should have the Version Number „AmiFox-Server 0.3“ visible in the AmiFox about (after at least one page was loaded) or in the footer of the AmiFoxServer webpage, next to the WRP Version number.

Interview with Alb about AmiFox @ German Amiga Podcast #12:

AmiFox is a great idea. I’m just curious how the files are downloaded? WRP server is an intermediary or AmiFox directly downloads the file to my Amiga?
aminet.net >> WRP >> AmiFox
or
aminet.net >> AmiFox
aminet.net >> AmiFox
WRP only sends URLs detected as „downloads“ back to AmiFox and then AmiFox does the actual downloading on this URL (as wget would) of course that does not work if that needs some cookies (for login for example) or other fancy javascript stuff.
So if I understand correctly, there is a download manager built into AmiFox? And does your server mediate in downloading files at all? Is WRP the only intermediary?
A download manager is a rather grandiose term for a single line of code downloading the file 😉 but yes in principle it is a download manager.
The server only sends the URL for example https://aminet.net/…. to AmiFox which then downloads it.
So your server does not mediate during file downloads?
the WRP/AmiFox server plays no role in the downloads at all.
works fine on vampire V4 SA thanks Albs
