I can confirm that SD is working again with Chrome (previous version wasn't working for me)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Very good update :)

I have suggestion

1. Option to refresh the link of a download and capture the new link using a floating app(Heard of floating app? check here :) )

This option is very very useful to resume download from a site having no resume support

Isn't it great?

This feature is there in Internet Download Manager(IDM) for PC :D

Please have a look :D
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean. What do floating windows have to do with resuming a download? :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Well let me explain

Suppose I am downloading a file from say Mediafire and it is very big and suppose due to some problem my internet stops working and I want to resume that big file download at any cost, so with IDM you can refresh the link and resume the download with the new link which you normally cannot by using just resume button(Definitely it will fail)

How it works-

When we click Refresh download link then first it downloads the html page from where it downloaded the big file and scans it for the link and resumes the download with new link, if this fails then it opens browser and opens the page from where it captured the first link(which now has expired) then we are supposed to click the download button of that file and as soon as it is clicked the browser will pass the link to download manager and instead of starting a new download of it, it replaces the old link of that big file with this new one and the download RESUMES!!!.

I suggest you to please try the IDM for PC to better understand the logic

I have few more suggestions

1. Display speed of download in notification also.

Bugs-

I tried disabling big chunks, aggressive threading but still the speed refresh rate is very slow :(

What should be done?

Improvements I faced :)

Good layout of download and the thread thing too

'Share with' option fixed
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.12

- can choose download directory

- fixed a little problem, introduced in 0.11, with preferences not reflecting suddenly

If this works well, I'll release it to the market this morning, thanks to everybody who tested it! :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Works fine :)
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Everything is working without problems.
[Android Apps and Games] techspecs:
Seems to work!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Once you are done with good amount of functionality and when you will think to improve the UI of app then see this

http://androiduiux.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/android-icsjb-photoshop-gui-design-kit-free-download/

This will be helpful to you to make it more ICS style

This is featured on xda portal now and it is worth considering :D
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks for the link, even though I don't use photoshop nor windows hehe :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] spitzdiggy:
Is there anyway to add a timer just to see how long the download required? Just one of those "I wonder how long it took to download a rom this way" kind of things! Thanks for a GREAT app
[Android Apps and Games] Free Radical:
Can this work on Reverse Tethering?

It would be so awesome if so.
[Android Apps and Games] Avilove.Cullen:
Does this really works?

There are many apps on PS but none satisfy! :(

~~rUcK

fUlEs~~
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
100% working and its KICKASS!

super fast download speeds :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Avilove.Cullen:
I was waiting for a reply :)

Gonna try this soon :)

Does not works for me :(

Always say "failed"

[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I will add it, thanks for the suggestion ;)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Please post a logcat, so I can have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
It works by using the "main" connection and the mobile one. It would be interesting to see if it works as it is, or maybe it could with some little modifications. Honestly I have never used reverse tethering so I don't know, but I'm surely interested in making it work ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Avilove.Cullen:
Bro i know how to take logcat of device but not of certain apps :(
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Just take the main buffer at debug level. You will see some lines tagged SuperDownload (and possibly some other related lines which are tagged differently)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
got a feedback which says it works:

"Excellent app	I used it while not at home. Just tether a connection from someone else's phone and combine with your data network, bam!"
[Android Apps and Games] Avilove.Cullen:
If i post a whole logcat then can you figure out ? :o
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I hope so :)

The more information I have...

Can't promise anything, eh!

LoL!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Any new update?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I'm pretty busy at work at the moment, but I'll try to dedicate some time to SD soon ;)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
How many of you are using superdownload on froyo?
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Me!
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
argh, I do not want to upset you, my main bug reporter! :)

the problem is with the "default android downloader" which is supported from gingerbread on.

I was implementing "download with default downloader" for the cases were superdownload fails and is the only downloader available (some people slapped me because they were forced to uninstall SD, cause of this problem).

could you check if you have a com.android.provider.downloads package in your system?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Yes I have DownloadProvider.apk in system/app

It is default download manager of froyo.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Maybe the app is there but not the api.

Could you try the attached debug build?

It uses the api but declares minSdkVersion="8" which is froyo, so it should install on your device.

Many thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Installs and works fine :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
wow good!

did you try clicking on a stopped/failed download and then "try on default downloader"?
[Android Apps and Games] myepicyear:
Hey man, just wanted to tell you that the app works extremely well. I use it all the time now. Well done my friend, and thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
thanks to you for testing and reporting :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
I got a force close when I tried that option.
[Android Apps and Games] A_U:
works nice indeed ! wow i m impressed...thanx for all the hardwork man :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
I think that force close is due to wrong package address

The correct package name is

com.android.downloads.providers
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I think it's because of the lack of api support.

Here it says you need api level 9:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DownloadManager.html

I've tried sending the url to the provider or the ui directly, thus without using the api, but no luck.

I've added a check to avoid the use of that function on froyo. See the attached debug apk.

It also adds "total time" when finished, as asked by some people :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Now I got "This feature is only available for Gingerbread"

Btw do you know I actually dont need any download manager when I have SD :D :D

------New bugreport---------

1. When we stop download the download doesnt stop instantly

2. When we stop download there is still notification active in status bar.

3. Refresh rate is really needed to improved, it really bugs a lot. Suppose I am downloading a 5 mb file then nearly first 30seconds it just says Starting and suddenly jumps to 9% or any other number, please will you do this first? It really annoys users who have a slow connection.

-------Suggestion-------

1. Site grabber - This feature is in IDM for PC, it downloads allllll pages of the specified website and we can browse the complete site in offline mode with those saved pages.

Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
hello!

1. it's because some threads haven't finshed yet. I could lie and say stopped :) I have an idea on how to stop them faster, I'll try later and let you know ;)

2. will fix it

3. I'll try to make some magic here to, will try to update while the thread is still downloading its part, will need some programcraft ;)

about the site grabber: I think it's a bit early in the program life to speak about this kind of features: when the most important are done (pause, resume broken, multi file, history, ecc.) maybe there will be time for this :)
[Android Apps and Games] kelvin616:
brilliant idea :good:

It didn't ask for root access even i use the dual mode, should it be the case?

I am using samsung S i9000 with Team Nyx [Android 4.0.4]
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Does the mobile icon on the status bar blink, as if there is mobile traffic (along with the wifi icon)?

In theory, no root = no mobile+wifi, but who knows... :)

I assume SuperUser is ok with the other root apps. Please check the SuperUser app logs, to see if there is a request by Super Download.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
New debug build attached! :)

Current changelog versus 0.12:

0.13

- option to download the current file with default android downloader (will not work on froyo devices)

- print total download time when finished

- faster download stopping

- download notification automatically removed when download cancelled

- download status is updated more often

I'd like to add "pause download" and some optimizations before releasing.

Please share how it works for you and what you think about the new features! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Ok here is the new report :D

All you mentioned is working well.

-----Bugreport------

1. I dont know whether it is recent version bug or what but actually the app is very unstable.

I was downloading solid explorer from dropbox of glodos(developer of solid explorer) which is 4mb in size. It started normally and refresh rate too is good but suddenly at 6% it got stuck and nearly after 10-15 seconds it moved to 7% then 8% then 9% in normal frequency as till 6% but suddenly it said 'Download Failed' :(

Then it should stop right? Then instead of stopping it got restarted again lol. Second thing why I call it unstable because it closes automatically sometimes without any force closes :(

All this is random and not specific and happens any time, so cannot take logcat :(

2. When download fails there is still notification on status bar.

------Suggestions------

1. Now refresh rate is greatly improved :D can you improve it more? I guess it refreshes per second now, can you refresh it two times per second?

2. Now speed is shown in whole numbers i.e 10kbps,11kbps and so on.

Can you make it accurate upto 3 decimal digits like 10.228kbps and that too will refresh along with refresh rate.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Hello!

bugs:

1. I can't reproduce the crashes, I'd really need a logcat to fix them, unless I find a way to make it crash on my phone. I've fixed a little bug which was causing it to update the progress even after it failed.

2. That is on purpose: I've made it cancel the notification when its stopped by the user; I thought that when it fails by itself, it's good to have the notification there

sugs:

1. it's 0.7s :D didn't want to make it too fast because there are people complaining it's slow (never seen it as slow... but some do... and put one star on the market!)

2. I think 3 decimals is a bit overdone, maybe one or two (and also put minutes and seconds instead of just seconds). it's a couple little cosmetics I'll do next ;)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
1. I will get you a logcat soon, I downloaded 3 files and didnt get those auto closures and hangups yet.

2. Then pls make it show show like below when download fails in man app and notification :D

"Name of the file

Download failed" :D

-----New suggestions------

1. When download completes then in status bar pls make it show

"Name of the file

Download Complete" instead of full progress bar and in main app it shows

"Name of the file

A complete progress bar(100% ,speed, total time)

Threads"

Can you turn this to

"Name of the file

Download complete(100%, average speed and not just speed at which last percent ends, total time)"
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Makes sense, I will try to make the notification more rational. Speed is already average.
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Great!

I will be waiting for your next debug build :)

Btw how far is resume support yet?

Can you pls add complete changelog in first post?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.13

xda only release for the moment, let's see if it works well for everybody ;)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Everything is working for you guys?
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I have a problem. I have a failed download, how do I delete the notification in SD?

After the failed download I can't get SD to download any other file.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Clicking or swiping the notification should remove it.

About the issue after a failed download: does it force close? Any other weird behaviour? Could you please post a logcat?

Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Clicking or swiping only gave the option to send the file to the default download option (or something like that)

Had the dual network option enabled to test it. Maybe that was the problem. I have deleted the app data to get rid of the failed download notification. I will try to get a log when I'm at my computer.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
did it ask for root permissions? maybe it can't get root access (but it should work anyways).
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
Yes it did ask for root permission, but only at the end of the download. I will test again and report back.

EDIT: Just wand to ad that I was trying this while at home where I have a bad mobile data connection.
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
I tried again to dl the same file with the same setting, only this time root permission was already given.

The file downloaded OK, only the last part, above 94% wend very slow. I guess that's due to the very bad mobile data connection I have at home (barely 2G).

Regarding the notification I can't delete, maybe we are talking about 2 different notifications. I can delete the one in the notification area, but I can't delete the one in SD itself.
[Android Apps and Games] nickcuaken:
I give it a try for a few day ;)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Yes, that slowness at the end is due to waiting for the mobile thread to finish.

The notification in the app itself is not supposed to be deleted (yet). I think it's ok as long as only one file at a time is supported, then we'll see :)
[Android Apps and Games] kantjer:
It would be nice that if you delete or move the download file the message would delete itself at next start-up.

No idea if that is even possible, just an idea.
[Android Apps and Games] yatrg:
Sister app

I stumbled upon this incredible thread while searching for a solution to another problem. I found many others with this problem but no resolutions. I think your app might be 90% of the way to solving my problem. Here it is:

While at work, many of us use wifi to connect to the work network, but either don't want to or can't (firewall - etc) use the internet portion of the wifi connection. What I would like to do is switch the default for internet access from wifi to cellular data while wifi remains on. (There are other possible solutions - i.e. assigning a given app to use cellular data even though wifi is on.) In all my searching, you are the only person who has even been able to get cellular data working at the same time as wifi on Android.

So, my question is, can you write a version of your app with a setting to use just cellular data instead of both - even while wifi stays on?

I am willing to pay for an app that will solve my problem, and I mean more than $4.99. :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Hello, yes it's possible to modify the app in order to use mobile connection only.

But, depending on what you need to do, may not be enough.

For example, the app needs to receive a url from another app, like the web browser. This app will probably be unable to reach that goal because of the limitations imposed on the wifi connection.

What is your usage scenario?

[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Great job! Its improving day by day

Here is my bugreport

---------Bugreport---------

1. When download starts it shows starting instead of downloading

2. The empty screen is really good when we open app but the string "....or adding a url by clicking top bar" is invalid for Android 4.0- users because in early version of android we have such layout
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks again for your usual fine report!

Glad to see it's much lighter this time ;)

Gonna publish this last version in a couple hours.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.15

- fixed "no files" text

and published on play market!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
First bug isnt fixed yet :p

It still shows starting instead of downloading
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I have a fix for this, but didn't dare to put it in the published version ;)

Will be on next release, of course :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
OMG I just got 1 star with this comment:

"do not dream as it is the operator that regulates the flow (depending on the particular package) I do not see how an app can accelerate ..."

:(
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
LMAO i guess its one of those retards floating around :p
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
-----Critical Bugreport-----

1. This is a very very critical bug in latest version and requires urgent attention.

Stage 1: Started a 4mb mp3 file download

Stage 2: Minimized the app

After about 1 minute

Stage 3: I pulled down the notification bar and it came down after 4 seconds :eek::eek:

Stage 4: Phone becomes slowwwwwww....like hell..

Stage 5: Phone becomes unresponsive for 15 seconds

Stage 6: Phone reboots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stage 7: Stuck on logo!! Had to reflash the ROM from recovery.

To confirm this again I repeated same again and everything till stage 6 happened but stage 7 never occured again

Pls fix this ASAP

I think someone reported on playstore for app being CPU hog right?
[Android Apps and Games] mariotme:
Can you please provide a logcat?
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Could you try the same with notifications disabled? I suspect it's related to that.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Debug build which attempts to fix slowness introduced in latest version.

Let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.16

- optimizations to avoid slowdowns on some phones

- sticky "starting" message fixed

- "NaN" speed at start fixed

if you have some old phones lying around (I know you do), please try it and let me know if it causes slowdowns :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Excellent!!

Its fixed!! I downloaded 25mb file with no lag!!

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Here is my new bugreport

---------Bugreport--------

1.When download finishes and when we clear the download, it doesnt clear the notification.

------Suggestions----

1. Long time ago you were talking about some real time graph. Can you implement it? And maybe with two two curves of mobile data and wifi which shows their separate speeds?

2. Why no history for froyo people? :( All download managers have their own history management then why not SD? :(

3. Along with progress bar and percentage, can you add the data downloaded out of total data? Like (1231Kb/2000kb) in real time?

4. Can you make speed upto 2 decimal digits pls? It looks good that way

5. You can make notifictions more rational in following cases

a) Eliminate the 'Full' progress bar and simply keep filename and Download completed string.

b) Same in case of failed downloads.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Thanks, I agree with all your suggestions and will fix the little "clear" bug. :)

About history on froyo, it's simply because it's not supported by android 2.2.

I wanted to use the system download manager because it didn't make sense to me to duplicate all its features.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.17

- try catch around addCompletedDownload(), looks like it may be missing even on >froyo

- "clear" removes notification

- print current size

- speed with 2 decimals

- notification progress bar hidden when complete or failed

- little cosmetic fixes
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Got a bug. Was testing download speeds (broke 1033kb heh) and all of a sudden the screen in program refreshed and said there was no downloads running, but it still showed in notification tray and seems to have finished successfully.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
Hmm looks like the app has been restarted, maybe because of low ram. Pretty weird when it happens on the foreground activity.

If you manage to reproduce it, could you post a logcat? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Yeah ill keep an eye on it and see if I can grab one when I see it happening. On a side note, even if I clicked on the notification tray it never showed up in the program
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
0.17 published on market!

thanks to everyone who helped with testing!
[Android Apps and Games] techspecs:
Thank YOU for the commitment to development and making this thing better in such quick iterations.
[Android Apps and Games] techspecs:
Humble feature request: pause/resume support. When I long press I get the option to cancel. I'd love to be able to also pause.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
"Pause" is a planned feature :)
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
After the pause/resume feature is implemented, I am gonna inform XDA news portal guys to re-feature this app again as a major update :D
[Android Apps and Games] techspecs:
Aww crap. I broke the first rule and didn't read the OP before I posted. #gotoyourroomtothinkaboutwhatyoudid
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I must say you do know how to spur me on LOL!
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Lol..really I must say, why the hell no dev got this idea before :D

This app is splendid and gonna throw reknowned download managers in dust bin lol.

Btw I have new bugreport :D

1. There are no more notifications visible lol...I can see the icon on status bar but when I pull it down then nothing.

2. When I do heavy usage then my task killer kills the service, then can you make it hard to kill. Did you use UC Browser? They have that implemented, even you make use of heavy apps upto RAM turning to zero it still runs in bg. Can you make it like that?
