You can go to "User CP" (above; left) and then "Send New Message" and type in Skyforger in the To-field

Hi kyletroy

Skyshare Manager is already portable in the sense that you can install it to a USB flash drive and use it on other computers. You'll likely have to reset the download folder location each time you change computers though.

wow, really? i guess we are the lucky ones, having our own setup. what
about those countries i presently work and travel in, with computers per
person at 2 percent, and internet access at 0.07 percent? and in rural areas,
incl smaller cities, this getting closer to zero?

with very often the only access being at school, or in a library?

with internet cafes so crowded, that you have to stand in line waiting for your
place, or have to book days in advance? lets think where you come from, and i
know hundreds of people who use their workplace computer, with or without
permission, for their personal needs.

and you'll be amazed how many of those people, with access to literally
fight for, do download music, any way they can (afford it).

more technical: you know how often it is here recommened to use VPNs, TOR,
RELAKKS or SwissVPN and all those services for access. just do that, and try to
install SkyLine's downloader ontop of that, and tell me if you can get it to work.
i can not.

>> Mp3Skyline are not in great standing at this forum presently

precisely. and thats why i was trying to tell them in order to get a solid
customer base, and achieve some standing with them (and us here), they
would do better overthinking their download system.

let them advertise and stick to their downloader, and even offer special bonuses
for people using it. but also offering an alternative standard download would not
hurt them, at all.

once again: my personal opinion, my personal experiences, my personal ideas.

>> Maybe that's just me

no it isnt. its also me, and many others. but lets not forget the 'very others'
out there, too.

ok, so let met guess purely based on the length of your response :-

(1) you are not NOT right now at an internet cafe where you had to sign up to use internet days in advance.

(2) You might be at work

[henry66]

>> let met guess purely based on the length of your response

you beat me, again. i knew it was just the number of posts that count.

>> you are not NOT right now at an internet cafe

i was, only two days ago. where we first had to 'remove' (simple: $$$) some kids
who were playing games, and then had a lengthy argument for me using my USB
stick (again solved: $$$).

>>You might be at work

there are days when you are 100% right, so it is. but it's some kind of weekend
emergency stand-by duty, with the expressed permission to use the WWW as i
like (but install progs).

No, I was referring to the length of your previous post (simple: TOO LONG). Thereby guessing that you weren't on a time restriction - so, probably NOT at an internet cafe, but possibly, as you yourself said, at at a work computer for your personal needs. That's all I said. Once again, this still applies to the subsequent post

Tootles,

Hi Max,

Thanks for the compensation.
But downloading is very difficult.
Today it took me an hour trying to download 3 songs from Neil Young's "Archives be damned"
I tried both skyshare manager 3 and 4.

I was charged for 3 but only one song was succesfully downloaded (+ a second one for half of the time)

Is this normal?

Greetings
Joris Geens

update : I tried again the next day and now everything is working fine.

[skyforger]

thanks to everyone for the feedbacks

joris, please PM me if you find any other problems, anything that seems to work in improper way. we appreaciate any information for the stable 1.4.1 release and your contribution is much appreaciated

henry and vikulenka,
thanks for the discussion
henry, you're somewhat right regarding ability of customers to install the software. some of them just cannot due to restrictions set by admins, but this generally applies to work computers. please believe, we would really prefer to keep the "classic" way of downloads, but for some reasons this cannot be the case. please don't ask me why - i am not authorized to discuss this in public.

So, from this point, we are working hard now to bring you Software that will be perfect for downloads and even more useful than browser approach.

everyone, please feel free to follow up this thread with any suggestions, proposals, advises, etc. your help is always appreaciated,

thanks to all aom3 members,
Max.

[henry66]

>> henry, you're somewhat right regarding ability of customers to install the software

max, it is not only ability. similar to your reasoning, many people have limitations they
also do not, or cannot, discuss.

now believe me, i understand your reasoning 1000%, there is no need to even explain.
it is just sad that it excludes so many potential customers.

more sad are the actual circumstances that force both you (plural) and us (multi-plural)
to behave like we presently do. but going into this would duplicate many discussions we
have in the forum already. and make my post to long, again.

greets - henry

[skyforger]

i got and admitted your point, Henry. well, time changes. hopefully we will be able to provide the classic way of downloads in the nearest future
