New Features
MSC-020 : Partfile Name Recovery from enkeyDEV mod
MSC-021 : HardDisk Protector - Buffer flushing to harddrive changed from 1 min to 10 min
Estimate Download Time Feature (enkeyDEV)
This works only between EDT compatible versions.
It lets you known how much it will take to download from a specific source and is updated every reask (as the QR). The requester can see the EDT in "Remaining" column. The provider can see EDT for enqueued clients in their details window (N.S. means EDT "Not Supported" by that client).
To have a reliable statistic, EDT performs no estimation until about 30 clients start download (and that can take very much). Anyway this is VERY experimental. Do not take EDT for an oracle, if the provider changes a file priority or shares another file or a million other things, your EDT changes consequently!
GUI-010 : Status of PowerSharing Files
Settings : defeat 0-filled part senders default enabled
