WHS-Download Manager 3.2.2
There is support for another filehoster
WHSDM-Service 1.0.1
There are two new extensions for the WHS-Download Manager available.
The WHSDM Webservice extension. It extends your Windows Home Server
with a Webservice, that you can operate from your browser or another application.
The URL is http://yourservername/whsdmservice/DownloadPool.asmx
The Webservice awaits a String with semicolon separated URLs. After the filehoster check, the
URLs are added to the Download Pool.
Firefox Add-on
The first Appllication that uses this Webservice is a Firefox Add-on from Daniel Siegers.
After the installation you must configure the Add-on.
Start the Firefox Add-on, select the WHS Download Manager Client Add-on
and edit the name of your Home Server under 'Settings' in the URL http://yourservername/whsdmservice/DownloadPool.asmx
Now you can download the file(s) to your harddisk or send the URL to the Home Server.
Note: If you use a filehoster with a premium account, please deposit Username and Password on the Server.
Please install the WHS-Download Manager and the WHS-Service from your Windows Home Server
Remote Console (Settings-Add-Ins). The Firefox Addon must be installed from the Firefox Browser.
You must enable the Remote Access under Windows Home Server 'Settings' to activate the Webservice.

If the Remote Application fails to get connected to the server:
Please check your Homeserver firewall settings. The Application uses Port 8085
to communicate with the server.
One solution is: Homeserver Remote Desktop
Start--> Control Panel--> Windows Firewall --> Exceptions<
Add Program -- Navigate to c:\Program Files\WHSDM Software\WHS Download Manager\WHShDown.exe

The last couple of days I began to design a new addin for the Windows Home Server.
I missed some functions with the Remote Access.
The option to allow friends to access the shared folder is great!
I know who can access my home server, but i don´t know what they're really doing on my website and what files
are really popular. So I decided to make a new addin--> WHS Audit
I need more statistics to see what's really going on on my HomeServer.
In the first step I'll create a new tab for the Home Server Console with statistic for:
- User Statistic
Last Login/Amount of logins
What the user is up- or downloading?
- File Statistic
Last download/upload
Amount of downloads
In the next step I'll extend the Windows Home Server Website for the statistics.
If you have suggestions for other statistics or functions for the WHS Audit addin,
please let me know (Comments or Mail)!

To make the new version even better, i would like to collect new ideas, functions and suggestions for the
forthcoming versions. Some ideas are:
- Unzip/Decompress Files (Password Protected)
- New Filehoster
- Upload Function (deactivated in Version 3.2.0 for redesign!)
- FTP Function (deactivated in Version 3.2.0 for redesign!)
The version 3.2.1 has some bugfixes and one new great feature for Online TV-Recording.
The new version supports files download from save.tv and the option to automatically
download finished TV-Recordings from the save.tv online archive. You're scheduling your recording
online and the Windows Home Server downloads the file automatically for you when the recording is ready for download.

The new WHS-Download Manager is on the way.
One of the new features ist the ProgressBar in the Download Pool.
In version 3.2, it is possible to download multiple files at once. If the filehoster supports it
(most do on Premium Accounts), you can get up to 10 parallel downloads in the Download Pool.
Another criteria for the parallel downloads is the CPU utilization. If the CPU utilization is very low,
the WHS-Download Manager starts another Download in the pool (up to 10). If the CPU
utilization is very high (Backup,Stream ...) though, the WHS-Download Manager decreases the possible parallel
download number (down to 1). The technique behind this is ThreadPooling.
The ProgressBar in the Listview shows the parallel download progress, with the filesize and the completed size.
There are three possible color-states:
- Light Blue: Download is in progress
- Green: Download finished successfully
- Red: Download error/canceled
Look out for the upcoming new features on the next release in this blog!
