John's HTR File Rat (Downloader)
John has created a program that could make it much easier and quicker to download your HTR files from HDW. He sent me a copy today with the following message:
“This
is completely free to HTR members as I firmly believe in HTR. The
quality of data, support and business practices is superb! Because
I’ve been disabled, if you want to ask for a donation from the
members to cover the cost of out of pocket expenses that would be
cool. If not, that is COMPLETELY fine by me as this was certainly
done to make a contribution to a fine bunch of folks. The donation
can be anything.”
I think you are going to love his HTR File Rat.
I used it to download the files for Sep 07 in one shot and it took
about 22 minutes for me to download the files as indicated in the
above picture. After
setting what I wanted to download, my logon info and where I wanted
the files saved, it was just one click.
Much easier.
You can PayPal a donation to John at genroute@midtown.net or if you want to donate by mail you can send it to me and I will make sure he gets it:

Download HTR File Rat Full Install, Version 1.52 dtd 13 Nov 07
Download HTRFileRat.exe exe only, Version 1.52 dtd 13 Nov 07
The program defaults to install on your boot drive in \Program Files\HTR\HTR File Rat\. After installing you can set the download path.
You can download HTRFileRat.exe and save to directory where you have installed the File Rat. Overwrite the previous copy of the program.
To use, check the files you want to download, set the End and Start dates, enter your Logon Info, set download path, set which tracks you want to download and click on HDW Start Download.
You can select Download All Tracks or you can select which tracks you want to download. It will also download the newsletter from the HDW site.
Note from John: If you want all the tracks, make sure you check the box “Download All Tracks.” This will get all tracks even though they don’t show up in the track list. When you uncheck “Download ALL Tracks”, only the tracks checked in the tracklist will be downloaded. Update tracklist periodically. If you download the present day tracks, make sure you go back and download again the next day to get the racefiles with the scratches and the results and chart files.
