Custom SharpLeech 2 Plugins: http://www.wjunction.com/showthread.php?t=35208
​


A few days late but here it is. This version is mainly a maintenance update. By this I mean no flashy new futures were added. Instead this should resolve a bunch of issues and crashes that some people had with the Pre-ALPHA.

Changes Since v2.0.0 Pre-ALPHA:

  • Fixed a crash that would occur on some PC's when a window is opened for the 2nd time.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur on some PC's when clicking on the login button.
  • Fixed a crash or freeze that would occur when the Start Leeching button was clicked.
  • Fixed the program not logging the ChatBox content when the option is enabled.
  • Fixed a typo. I'm sure there are more typos left in the GUI so let me know if you find one!
  • Fixed problems with IPB 3 quote tags.
  • Added error logging layer.
  • Added asynchronous leeching (300%+ speed boost on 5Mbit+ connections and fast sites).
  • Removed all F# code and ported it to the C# DLL. The F# runtime is no longer required to be installed.
  • Improved duplicate topic posting prevention - It will now check the hash before actually reading the topic (speed improvement).
  • Improved Keep-Alive requests.
  • Increased HTTP connection limit (2 -> 12).
  • Changed the default timeout value from 100.000 to 30.000 ms.
  • Changed the default Regex settings (they are now enabled by default).
  • Changed the default ChatBox nickname. The program will now set your Windows username as default value.
  • Changed the window background color for the non-Aero interface.

Things you should know:
Async leeching is automatically enabled when the Pause value in your options is set to 0. By setting it to 1 or higher the program will switch to the old sync leeching method. A fast site (both leech and post) and a 5Mbit+ connection are highly recommended for async posting. On slow sites/connections async posting might actually drown your speed instead of improving it.

When you report a bug or problem make sure to include your Errors.log file. A screenshot alone is worthless. Also make sure you describe the problem as good as possible. Simply saying "it crashes for me" is useless.

Plugins (tested by me):
- Fixed Warez-Centre plugin: http://pastebin.com/25kFqM5A

  • Fixed the IRC client not sending a nickchange request when changing your nickname in the options.
  • Fixed a resource leak in one of the async fucntions due to not handling the IAsyncResult.
  • Fixed the radio volume (and slider) not updating when restoring the default settings.
  • Fixed a problem where logging in to a vBulletin 4.0.3 forum wouldn't work.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when leeching in async mode due to a thread safety issue.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when clicking the Copy Url button when the url was 'null'.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when clicking the Open topic in a browser button when the url was 'null'.

I'm not your slave am I? Analyzing problems that people have with the SL alpha is the last thing on my mind right now. But if you're willing to pay $10/hour I'd be happy to consider giving you personal assistance 8-).

Alternatively you could download a good C# book, learn it, and spend a month or 2-3 creating your own flawless leecher. Or try one of the slow webbrowser implementations such as iLeech or TRF (which comes with a free Winnie The Pooh skin!).

Good day.

BTW could you make an toy story skin for SL? :))
 
I love this app but in the new version I can't really figure out what to put in the "base URL" field. I use a custom phpBB 3.x.x script. Any advice is appreciated
 
Funny, that after a year you still have to explain the url :p. Noticed that quite some times on c-p aswell :p.
Anyway, still a nice rocking piece of coding :).
 
Hyperz: I tried that but it doesn't work, probably because I've modded my phpBB too much. What (files) needs to be in the base dir for it to work?
 
I think you're using wrong settings. It could be a problem with the sites mods like you say but that doesn't happen too often. Stock files are good enough. Upload your errors log to pastebin.com if you can. You can find it in your sharpleech folder.

Yeh, it's the circle of doom. I thought I was gonna solve that by switching to 1 simple url instead of 2 confusing ones. Guess not... ^^
 
Essentially what it does is it'll copy and paste posts from another forum and post it to yours, it's a quick way of buffering your post count, however you may also move spam/deadlinks over from site you're copying from.
 
Copies (leeches) topics from one site to another in a safe and automated way.

Edit: too late ^^
Edit2: There are easier ways to bump your post count. This tool is primarily aimed at webmasters that need content on their site and don't want to upload themselves or copy/paste manually.
 
Fixed: http://pastebin.com/v1uBptkt

Tested and working over here. Firstly, when you go to the site you land at http://tehparadox.com/forum but in the plugin you had http://www.tehparadox.com/forum as base url. This can make a difference, also in terms of speed (less redirects).

Secondly you had:
Code: 
        <!-- Set to true if the site uses SEO urls, otherwise false. -->
        <AllowRedirects>true</AllowRedirects>
        <UseFriendlyLinks>true</UseFriendlyLinks>
UseFriendlyLinks only works with VBSeo for vB. They use some other system so UseFriendlyLinks had to be set to false. Keeping AllowRedirects set to true will automatically take care of the *unknown* SEO plugin.

Edit:
People have been reporting issues with wbb. I can confirm that something is wrong. After leeching a few topics the site starts throwing 403 (forbidden) errors. I THINK they are trying to block leechers. I'll look into the problem when I get some time. For now if you use wbb I recommend setting the pause value to 5000. That might help.

Edit2:
SL2 Alpha -> 1.100 downloads and counting (excluding other mirrors). 8)

Edit3:
Don't PM me with SL problems please, thanks. Post them here instead. You might not always get an answer but I do take note of issues for future versions.
 
Bumpety bump. I've been looking at the wbb problem and it seems they are analyzing what topics you (read: SharpLeech) view. When they detect a pattern in that they will block you based on your session ID. Or at least that is what it looks like to me.

I've done some testing and it seems like there is an easy solution. Replace the contents of Warez_BB.xml with this:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

            base.MakeReady(sectionId);

        ]]>
    </Code>
</SiteReader>

Before you start leeching from wbb with the modified plugin set the pause value to 1 so that it leeches in sync mode. I've leeched 8 pages with this method without errors.
