Padkit Site Updater 1.1 (16/09/2006)
------------------------------------

What's new?
-----------
- Changed to Http post method instead of Get, the program will now work with all padkit enabled websites
  as long as the checkadd.php still exists on your padkit website.
- Uses indy components now with threads, this means faster submission speed and more submissions at once.
- Gotten rid of the website preview window, it's no longer needed because of the multiple threads and the
  change to indy components.
- The proxy test has become a thread on it's own as well.

What is it?
-----------
Padkit Site updater is a program for webmasters running a padkit pad website.
It is used to automatically populate the pad database starting from a text file with
links to pad files. The program will then submit these links the specified padkit site.
It's extremely usefull if you just started your padkit website and want to have some
programs listed for starting.

How do i use it?
----------------
Before you start u will need a text file with a list of pad urls, one url per line!!!
You either make your own or you get it from the wapiti site (see where do i find links
to pad files?).

You open the program, specify your connection method and then enter your padkit site url for example 
http://software.willemssoft.be then u press the select button and open up your list of pad urls
Once the list has been loaded you press the start button and submitting will start.
The program will detect if a submission was succesfull, meaning that the submitted program from the pad file
is either updated or listed as a new program, or if it has failed, that there wasn't a catergory found in the
pad file that matches the ones on your padkit site, there was a connection problem, or the submission timed out.
There's also an option to start from a certain site number in case you want to resume from a certain point.
Timeout is used to specify how many seconds the application waits before it submits another program, this is
only used to speed up the submission of pad urls that no longer work.
Threads is used to specify how many pad files you want to submit in one time. Please note that depending on
your website's download speed and internet connection you might have to increase the timeout value.
With my padkit website 30 seconds is still sufficient with 10 threads but that doesn't mean it will be with
yours.

What is Padkit?
---------------
Padkit is package to start your own pad enabled software site. You can get this package
here http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/webmasters.asp

Where do i find links to Pad files?
-----------------------------------
you can get them in a text file format from here :
http://www.wapti.com/repository just select a catergory save the output in a text file
and then open it with padkit site updater.

1) visit one of my sponsors on my website
2) make a small donatation using paypal to joyrider3774@hotmail.com
3) placing a link to http://www.willemssoft.be on your website

Future releases?
----------------
I might include an option to download a text file with padfiles with the listings from my padkit website

Notes
-----
Padkit Site updater is freeware and free to use for anyone. No money may be asked for the
program itself. 

if you just started your padkit website, don't forget to send me your website url so i can add
it to my other program that submits padfiles to padkit enabled websites, (50 sites are already listed)
