Seems to me like too much hassle for updating. Glad i still have the latest pbweb version.

Woah cool they updated it to a more gui-friendly version.

This is even easier infact, if you have multiple pb-enabled games installed, it will let you choose them to add them to the main window, then when you hit update it scans them all and looks for newer files. :drool:

But there are some kinks with it I think, for q3 it told me the dlls 'are not a valid windows image' or something, it said it updated but I'm not completely sure if it did.

Good start though.

Ok I put the exe in a seperate folder since all you need is 1 that works for every game, q3 was detected ok now and it updated. Nice! :p

Yes, if you have several games it's good, but for just one game (q3a) i liked pbweb. Try troubleshooting this program with someone who doesn't know where it goes wrong.

PBSetup is just as slow as pbweb, sadly. It's a bit more accessible though. Next time i get kicked for an outdated PB client i'll update manually. Hopefully it won't dl with 0.00001 byte per minute like pbweb: the Planck scale of download speeds! :icon30:

Edit: yay hit 500! :cool:

It downloaded the updates pretty fast here. The problem with pbweb was that there was a timer delay before it got a response from the server (happened frequently if you launched pbweb twice in succession). Maybe it was deliberate so the server wouldn't get jammed. This thing seems to do it a lot faster though, on my end at least.

pbweb always downloaded fast and almost immediately. Only problem i had was that it would never get all the updates in one run.

Maybe once it downloaded fast here. I think sluggishness is the general experience with pbweb.
