Are there substitutes for InetGet?

[Quinch]

...because I'm having serious issues with using it, to the point of AutoIt actually crashing {as in not exiting via error, but an actual "this application has shat itself" crash}. I don't think I've had AutoIt ever crash, literally ever, so... yeah. I've dug through the example forum a bit, but without much luck.

What is the errror when you run the script from SciTE? (console output)

Quinch,

Do you have your DB schema in DDL format. Kinda hard to test without it.

Also, never seen anyone use the pluperfect form of "shit" before...

Quinch,

While we are a bit off topic, have you made progress toward the colliding MD5 issue?

Like I said, it doesn't exit with an error, it actually crashes. The crash info, if it interests you, is;

Quinch,

Oh, derp. Can't upload the file, though.

CREATE TABLE threads (size NUMERIC, threadno NUMERIC, poster TEXT, time TEXT, title TEXT);

CREATE TABLE tb (template TEXT, filenames TEXT, MD5 TEXT, size NUMERIC);

CREATE TABLE unsorted (filename TEXT, url TEXT, line NUMBER);

Quinch,

Not really, I couldn't reproduce it, but I subsequently decided to have the script check for both filesize and MD5 just to be on the safe side anyway. Edited January 31, 2012 by Quinch

Quinch,

I'm sure you know this but you are running a backleveled version of autoIT. There were some changes to inetget. I found / tested a background loader by tvern that you may be interested in. It downloaded 100 .png files simultaneously on my slow ass connection with no problems. The following is the code (I forgot to save the link)

expandcollapse popup

Local $aDownloads[100]
;~ _MaxConnections(20) ;uncomment to set the max open connections to one server to 20
_BackgroundMethod($aDownloads)
_StandardMethod($aDownloads)
Exit

Func _BackgroundMethod($downloads)
    Local $complete, $timer
    DirRemove(@ScriptDir & "filesbackground",1)
    DirCreate(@ScriptDir & "filesbackground")
    $timer = TimerInit()
    For $i = 0 To UBound($downloads)-1
        $downloads[$i] = InetGet("http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo1w.png",@ScriptDir & "filesbackgroundfile" & $i & ".png",1,1)
    Next
    Do
        For $i = 0 To UBound($downloads)-1
            If InetGetInfo($downloads[$i],2) Then
                ;you could start performing functions on the completed file already by making a function call here.
                $downloads[$i] = False
                $complete += 1
            EndIf
        Next
    Until $complete = UBound($downloads)
    ConsoleWrite("The background method finished in " & TimerDiff($timer) & "ms."& @CRLF)
EndFunc

Func _StandardMethod($downloads)
    Local $timer
    DirRemove(@ScriptDir & "filesstandard",1)
    DirCreate(@ScriptDir & "filesstandard")
    $timer = TimerInit()
    For $i = 0 To UBound($downloads)-1
        InetGet("http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo1w.png",@ScriptDir & "filesstandardfile" & $i & ".png",1,0)
    Next
    ConsoleWrite("Standard method finished in " & TimerDiff($timer) & "ms."& @CRLF)
EndFunc

Func _MaxConnections($max)
    RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings","MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server","REG_DWORD","0x" & Hex($max,8))
    RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings","MaxConnectionsPerServer","REG_DWORD","0x" & Hex($max,8))
EndFunc

Hundreds isn't a problem - I can do that without inet handle management. Tens of thousands seems to break it, though.

Either way, I've been digging around a bit and I think I might be able to use the bitsadmin command line tool instead. It won't be elegant, but whatever works, right?
