Support NeoGAF

[Zero3K]

So I did some searching around this program and Zero3K and by the looks of it he's just genuinely fascinated by the project and honestly just wants some tech wizards to ultimately do what he lacks the power to do; improve it. I did think something shady was going on behind this but if you search as I did Zero3K kind of spiritually and unofficially tried to take over the program by uploading it to SourceForge and GitHub trying to make changes and improve it by himself but without the capability nor the facility to do so.

Why? I have absolutely no idea. The software was last updated in 2005 by its original and (by the looks of it) now defunct developer so why he has his heart set on this amidst hundreds of superior and more recent programs I don't know. If this is your hobby and passion Zero3K why not study this as a career or something and work on the project yourself? The mistake you made was providing a very generic and evidently copy and pasted OP that had no details whatsoever to effectively communicate your intentions.

That made everyone skeptical, guarded and of course we all then jumped on you. Seriously Zero3K consider my advice. Why not get into software development?

Its too much of a hassle for me to learn how to code. I tried taking a look at it and all I see is gobbledygook.

I collect royalties, thank you very much.

Look at this motherfuckin' sweet software. LOOK at it.

lol is that really it? Looks like something from Windows 2000.

My internet is so fast I need a download decelerator.

Downloads don't take long enough.

Has anyone tried downloading this thread with the program?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Anyone having problem downloading movies or music, I've found out that creating post in GAF with the link and downloading the direct link right off the post makes it download much faster since the constant use of GAF makes the download less of a load on my cache and frees up the RAM.

It's near instantaneous with GAF Gold, though.

Yes, it does work except you have to specify where to save it.

I remember GetRight.

I never tucows without GetRight!

 

[Zero3K]

See, at least you're all being nostalgic about old software and sites.

Between this and the Project Reality/Ultra64 topic on the gaming forum, I feel as if the 90's have returned.

Just need to turn the TV on and watch Twin Peaks now.

[eot]

Time to try this out with some of those new Steam games I've been hearing about.

Wait a few years

 

[Trike]

Was it "420noscope"?

 

[Messofanego]

Was it "420noscope"?

And car downloading.

All I saw was the bottom of this box on my screen and I thought someone had quoted me.

 

[DizzyCrow]

Where is the sponsored tag OP?

 

[Zero3K]

Where is the sponsored tag OP?

What is that?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Anyone else getting weird Beyblade thread vibes from this thread for some reason?

 

[mclem]

On a side note, it always weirds me out to see people like OP who are full members and can post threads but have like, ~50 posts because they joined GAF before "junior member" was even a thing.

I thought you could also get beyond junior status through being a member for sufficiently long?


Wait. Could this be Frog Fractions 2? I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE.

 

[jasonng]

I don't know what's going on. Guys I'm scared.

 

[LurkerPrime]

This whole situation seems like a "jack and the beans" story right now.

I think the only way you, OP, could convince an angel developer to revive ConnectFusion would be to spill the beans on why this project is so worthwhile. Because, as others have said, barebones posts filled with links are not enough. "It's a download accelerator" is also not enough. The real reason you've been crusading for half a decade to resurrect this program just has to be something more profound than anything mentioned so far.

I want to believe, OP.

Re: the bolded, good news on that front. Twin Peaks is getting a Blu-Ray re-release with 90 minutes(!!!) of deleted scenes.

Static void sounds terrifying...

And out... in? What?!

It's utterly incomprehensible; don't make things up as it will only confuse this thread even more.

I have no other reasons besides just being interested in the fact that its designed with a simplistic and easy-to-use UI that reminds me of the simpler times, it has a bar graph to represent the current/past speed of the download, you can drag links to it, and it doesn't take up much disk space.
