Welcome 245w2p

You're welcome Smile Most of the work was from trog and Mammoth. I just packaged it up and updated some minor bits. It's one we used to have as a Dev Test way back but didn't work in Vista and up, so now that it does, I figured I'd bring it back. It fits the minimalist manager niche nicely.

I rebuilt the binaries with 39v38

I rebuilt the binaries with MSVC 2010 SP1, statically linked so no need for the runtime. I added a manifest file for proper visual styles.

Source and binaries here:

Next thing would be to rebuild wget, but I lost the patch for that and I'm too lazy to do it now, maybe in the future.

Already There 5226x

The packaged portable release already has them. I tested under Windows XP, Vista and 7 and they work as expected. Note that they are not in the Mammoth release, but they are in ours.

I don't having it 5j3m6w

I don't having it but anyway. Whatever, it's your decision, I simply offered a proper package without hacking the resources.
