Thanks.  Should the v2 gadget work in Vista? It hangs my sidebar.exe process everytime I try to add the config stuff.

Instead of having the Turtle Mode list a set of fixed values, could you make it a input field where we can just enter a xx kB/s ?

I ask because, quite frankly, the numbers you have chosen are fantasy for the majority of us who live in Australia where reasonably priced, high-speed internet just doesn't exist :(

Why not specify a percentage? Set your max theoretical throughput in the config screen and then turtle mode at a percentage in a drop down? That way it should work for everyone

I'm using the latest ver 2 gadget with windows vista. It appears to generaly work ok.  The only thing that is not working is the "drag & drop".  When I "drop" an nzb into it, a menu/scroll pops up asking for the catagory, I click on one and chose "ok" but the "file name" doesn't appear in the gadget.

I know I could go back to ver 1, but the "drag & drop" issue in ver 2 in vista is no big deal for me.

I just thought I'd give you a report as it otherwise doesn't effect vista on my computor.
