Hi,

I was wondering if there was any way to make UFTP resend the missing packets at the end of the sections instead of the end of the file?

The purpose would be for being able to stream (watch back as the download is running) video files using a player that supports incomplete files (VLC).

Thanks

Nick,

Version 4.0 has this functionality. It was removed in version 4.1 due to thoughput issues with this design, but it might work for your particular use case.

Dennis

So far 4.0 server with 4.9.2 client is working great! I am using it in a unicast like setup with only 1 client and so far have not noticed any slowdowns ( only a 6mbit line ).

I suppose if it’s not too much effort it would be nice have a switch in any upcoming release that mimic’s this? Anyway it’s working now so cheers, and thanks for the fast support! :D

Thanks
-Nick
