Quick fix for V11: the self-updater's progress window no longer looks stuck or disappears at 100%.

Fixes

  • The update window said 100% and then seemed to freeze or vanish. The 100% only covered the download. Verifying and unpacking the new version still had to happen, and during that time the window sat frozen at 100% (and could even show "Not Responding" on a slow disk or with real-time antivirus), then closed before anything else appeared. The window now shows each stage — Verifying download, Unpacking update (with a real percentage), Checking the new version, Update ready. Restarting — keeps responding throughout, and stays on screen until the update window has opened, so there is no blank gap.

Everything else is unchanged from V11.1

Keep my version, the single Delete / Keep / Cancel prompt, the update check that no longer hits GitHub's rate limit, and all the V11 fixes are still there — see the V11.1 notes. (The tutorial screenshots still say "V11" in the title bar; that is the only difference.)

Upgrading

  • From V11 / V11.1 or V10: click the Update Available button. If your network is one that hit the 403 on V10/V11, it may not appear until the hourly limit resets — in that case download LegacyDownloaderV11.2.zip below and extract it over your old folder (keep your config.txt).
  • From V9.x or earlier: delete everything in your old install folder except config.txt, then extract this zip into that same folder.

Note: the improved progress window only appears when updating from V11.2 onwards; your first update to V11.2 still uses your current version's window.

Getting started

  1. Download LegacyDownloaderV11.2.zip below and extract it anywhere.
  2. Double-click LegacyDownloader-GUI.bat.
  3. Follow the on-screen setup — or open the tutorial for a full walkthrough.

Requirements

Windows with PowerShell 5.1 (built into every modern Windows install). Nothing else to install — rclone.exe ships inside the zip (its license notice is in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt).

Antivirus note

Some people's Windows Defender has flagged a release zip as a trojan shortly after it was published (a cloud "reputation" detection on a brand-new file). It is a false positive: the zip contains only the PowerShell scripts in this repository, language files, an icon, two .bat launchers, and the official rclone.exe. You can verify the download against the SHA-256 shown next to the asset on this page, or read the source in this repository first.
