Quick fix for V12: you can now stop a download, the update check no longer fails with "no internet" when a tracked edition has left the server, and the song counter counts editions like 3111.
Fixes
- You can stop a download. After clicking Download now there was no way to cancel except closing the whole program. The big blue button now turns into a red Stop button while songs are downloading. Stopping keeps every song that already finished and removes the half-downloaded file (it would otherwise sit on your disk at its full size). Run the check again whenever you want to continue - nothing is downloaded twice.
- "No internet" popup when
nextis tracked. The JD Next maps were moved from their ownnextfolder into the normal edition folders on the server, so thenextfolder is gone. The update check treated that as a lost connection and refused to check anything - including your other editions. It now skips an edition that is no longer on the server, says so ("Not on the server anymore, so skipped: ..."), and asks whether to stop tracking it. Your downloaded songs always stay on your PC. (Look for the songs in their normal editions, such as Decades of Hits, and track them there.) - "Tracking: N songs" ignored some editions. An edition the community sheet doesn't list (3111 Just Dance Wii, the old
next) counted as zero. The counter now uses the server's own song list for those, or the files you already have. - View tracked now shows those editions. They used to be missing, or listed in red as "downloaded, not tracked". They now appear as normal tracked editions.
Everything else is unchanged from V12
Song backups, the replaced-songs list, the antivirus fix and the signed-installer check are all still there.
Upgrading
- From V10 or later: click the Update Available button, or download
LegacyDownloaderV12.1.zipbelow and extract it over your old folder (keep yourconfig.txt). - From V9.x or earlier: delete everything in your old install folder except
config.txt, then extract this zip into that same folder.
Getting started
- Download
LegacyDownloaderV12.1.zipbelow and extract it anywhere. - Double-click
LegacyDownloader-GUI.bat. - 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 antivirus programs have flagged a release zip as a trojan shortly after it was published. 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 (which a few engines flag as a "hacktool" because it can copy files from the internet - it is the official, unmodified build). 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.
