Welcome to the eDonkey Java Controller
    - the next generation of eDonkey client.

This is Java Controller 1.1 Build 2. It works best with the Windows command line client (core) version 60 or Linux core version 1658 and up (before core version 60).

Please feel free to send any feedback and bug reports to me (david@edonkey2000.com). Please do not send me email in languages other than English and Chinese. Check out the FAQ in the "Help" menu.

Bug fixes or feature enhancements since last release:

1. More Internationalization support. Below is the list of supported languages (in the order of when they were first supported).  Those languages are in blue in the Language tab of the Preference dialog. You are welcome to translate to other languages not in the list. Refer to the FAQ for how to display those international versions correctly in Java and how to make your own translation.

  • German (Locale is de_*)

  • Slovenian (sl_SI) 

  • Chinese (zh_CN, zh_HK, zh_TW)

  • French (fr_*)

  • Spanish (es_*)

  • Catalan (ca_*)

  • Swedish (sv_SE)

  • Italian (It_*)

2. Added ed2k download/server link web browser integration. You can click on any ed2k links (including ShareReactor's add-multiple-file links) in a web browser to start the Java Controller and begin downloading the file. See the FAQ for details about how to enable this feature.

3. Added "Paste ed2k Links" menu item to tray icon popup menu (on Windows).

4. Fixed the problem of some ed2k links not working.

5. Fixed some users' registration code not working.

6. Fixed OK button in Preference dialog to behave like Apply.

7. Split Preference dialog into two dialogs. One is for core specific settings, the other is for general GUI settings.

8. Fixed negative user ID problem.

9. In color progress bar, displaying at least one line for missing part so that you can always see where is the missing part.

10. When you select one or multiple downloads in download lists, you will see in status bar how many items are selected, and what's the total size of those download and how many have been downloaded. As you may know, Ctrl-A will select all items in the list. By doing this, you will be able to see how many files you are downloading right now, how many servers in your server list etc.

11. Add shortcut key support. Alt-Right/Left will navigate among different main tabs. Escape key will cancel any dialogs.

There could be some bug fixes I forgot to write down. Check this release and find out. Here are archived release notes. Check them out if you want to learn the history (kind of a big word, since it's in its infancy) of the Java Controller.

Thanks for your time and interest ! Please show your support by registering eDonkey. Your registration will be the same as for the Windows client.
