Bug Files are lock and can't be written to during download

I am having a problem in version 1.6+ where as I download a file it seems to lock the file. This is very bad for my use of HFS. I need to be writing to the files as they get downloaded. Can you please comment on this? I need this to work bad. I think it might have to do with an addition in 1.6 but why?

Maybe you can describe the situation that you need it for ?
Like - downloading a log file, that is being appended ? what if the file is being modified NOT at end of it ?

That is exactly what I am using it for. If it is being modified then we would just have to refresh the file download. This worked great in older versions because I used it in this fashion for a while.

Did you try if it is the same in the latest V2 alfa version ?

i changed the line

Code: [Select]

fileopen(reply.body, fmOpenRead+fmShareDenyWrite) );in

Code: [Select]

fileopen(reply.body, fmOpenRead+fmShareDenyNone) );i'm not sure this is correct, but next 2.0 alpha release will be the opportunity to test it.
i hope this will satisfy your needs but, please, test the alpha as it is released.
to know when next alpha is released you can check the 2.0 coming topic, or just use the check for updates command (but sometimes i forget to update the last one)

That sounds good. Thanks

OK I tested the most recent alpha 23 and it still locks the file so that I can't write to it. :cry:

Yes I am aware of that. I was also asked to test the current alpha version too. So I did. That is all. No big deal. He already said he made the update.

Thanks
