AntDM stopped working on microsoft update catalog
Well, the tittle says it all. AntDM won't catch any downloads on the microsoft update catalog.
go to
www.catalog.update.microsoft.com, search (for example) for 890830 and try to download it. Ant won't catch it.
I haven't added exclusions for the site/domain, in case you're wondering. AntDM works fine on other sites.
I hope this can be fixed ASAP, next tuesday is patch tuesday and I download A LOT of stuff from there!
edit: tried the latest beta 2.6.3, still doesn't work.

Re: AntDM stopped working on microsoft update catalog
Thenk you for your notification!
Some reason made me add an exception https?://*.download.windowsupdate.com/* to the download to this file ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Download Manager\exclude_addrs_def.txt" ).
Unfortunately, I don't remember why this was done.
Obviously, this line should now be deleted.
I will delete it in the today beta.

Funny, that line indeed exists in the .txt file, but nothing shows on the program's setting.
update: I removed that line and now it works (after restarting AntDM)

Re: AntDM stopped working on microsoft update catalog
BTW, what's the purpose of the file exclude_addrs_def.txt ??
Exclusions should be added in the program's interface. Additionally, whatever address are added to that file doesn't show up in the list of exclusions in the program's interface.
Why two different places to add exclusions, with one of them being "secret"?

Re: AntDM stopped working on microsoft update catalog
exclude_addrs_def.txt is supplied by default with the software.
These exceptions have been added based on my experience and the experience of other users to avoid annoying requests for unnecessary downloads.
To give you an example https?://*.ebay.*/*.dll you understand that a file like this should never be downloaded under any circumstances. Also many other lines.
This file rarely needs to be corrected or updated.
