The only connections this applcation uses is port 3306 to access the MySQL server, and port 80 to access google.com to get the PageRank updates. It accesses no other internet IP addresses. No information is kept except the MySQL connection information which is stored in a INI file in the same folder as the EXE - This is so you don't have to manually ever in your details everytime you want to run the application. Cheers ..... Gerald.
1. just give everyone a link to the source code so they can compile it on their own if they want to. 2. i dont need it as i wrote my own updater many months ago. 3. im sure irka will appreciate that. rob

I found this free application a great help for me on servers where google does not allow pagerank checks, and I have already used it to update a couple of my sites. Thank you very much for sharing this and I look forward to your next update.
Hey, just wanted to once again mention that I hope you will make the next update. I really like the application and want to use it on my own directories.

This is great. This is something I personally look forward to using. I am at a hotel now and can wait to get home and try it tomorrow.
Just wanted to note that I tried your latest version, and at last, it was flawless. All links were updated without a hitch. Great work!
I can highly recommend this app too. I use it on both my directories. What language is it written it? Any chance of seeing the source?
Hiya, Thanks for the great support people! It's greatly appreciated!! The application is written in Borland Delphi (v7). The source code for v1.0 is freely available, just PM me for the link. Cheers .... Gerald.
I think I'd be out of my depth with Delphi. .NET, now you're talking! I am intrigued with these tools though - I guess it uses the Google API?
