Otiel/BandcampDownloader v1.5.0

1.5.0

on GitHub

This release fixes the issue preventing BandcampDownloader from downloading tracks on Windows 10/11.

A lot of changes have been made under the hood, please do not hesitate to create a new issue for any bug you might encounter.

Improvements

• Replaced the setting "Download one album at a time" by "Max concurrent albums downloads". It is advised to let this value to 1 in order to avoid triggering Bandcamp anti-spam mechanism. I might remove this option later to avoid such issues. #305
• Added new setting "Max concurrent track downloads". It is advised to keep this value under 10 in order to avoid triggering Bandcamp anti-spam mechanism. You can try to lower this value if you're having lots of "Hit max retries" errors. #225 #228 #305
• Removed the "Use HTTP instead of HTTPS" option. It was not working anymore as Bandcamp now automatically redirects all HTTP connections to HTTPS. #306
• Improved the performance when saving tags. #319
• Added / updated translations thanks to contributors. Thank you! The application is now available in the following additional languages: Arabic, Catalan, Hungarian. #268 #275 #288 #316

Bug fixes

• Fixed the issue preventing the application from downloading any track. #265 #203 #301
• Fixed an issue preventing to start downloads again after cancelling them. #294
• Fixed an issue when downloading albums named ".". #238
• Fixed an issue when downloading some covers. #214
• Fixed an issue causing multiple threads to write on the same file concurrently. #141
• Fixed an issue causing some tracks downloads to be skipped. #122
• Other minor bug fixes.

Known issues

• The Proxy setting is not functional anymore and any custom proxy will be ignored. I'm looking for a fix for a future version.

Notable changes

• Upgraded .NET framework 4.7.2 to .NET 10.
• The .NET framework is now contained in BandcampDownloader.exe file. Hopefully that will fix issues encountered by users who didn't have the correct .NET framework installed on their machine, or a corrupted .NET framework. The drawback is that the executable file is now around 60 MB instead of 2 MB. #263 #249 #215
• The log file can now grow to 10 MB instead of 1 MB to prevent loosing useful info. #300
