About Nick

Founder and Developer - After over a dozen years "in the trenches" as a computer repair technician specializing in malware removal, I came to focus on a software development hobby.

Later came an interest in using my development skills and tech experience for prevention of malware...

fGet.exe – new utility for batch/scripting file downloads

Jan 26, 2016

fGet.exe is a tiny download utility designed for batch/scripting usage, which simply downloads the data from the specified url to a local file. fGet optionally supports referring URL spoofing and HTTP login with basic authentication. fGet.exe is tiny (currently 51.1kb, or 18.5kb zipped with standard compression) and requires no external dependencies for best portability. Obviously it can be used in many scenarios, however it was specifically designed to give d7/d7II users an alternate means of downloading multiple...

QuickHash v1.1 update released!

Jan 25, 2016

JRT ‘custom app’ update for d7II (and the original d7 Premium)

Jan 7, 2016

Recent changes in JRT (an example custom app configuration distributed with d7II and the original d7 Premium) prompted a small but necessary fix in the 3rd Party Configs\JRT_Auto.cmd file which we use to manipulate the JRT.exe download/extraction and toi modify JRT’s GET.BAT file. This update will fix automation issues with JRT that since one of their recent updates seems to have broken a clean exit of their GET.BAT which stalls in cmd.exe using the old last line...
