Now for the updater
roud:
If you download the latest DW Ppanel, theres now an option to 'enable automatic updating'. Even if you have the latest list, it may still tell you that an update is available when first enabling, youll have to accept this first update, as it also updates a control file, then every 24 hours, checks for an update.
if an update is available, youll have a message on your screen, informing you that an update is available, and asking you if youd like to update
if you choose yes, itll download the latest channel lists, reload them, and check again in 24 hours
if you choose no, itll inform you that an update is available again, in 24 hours time
after activating, please check the log (using the ppanel option) just to ensure that it says 'Sleeping for 24 hours') this shows that the first update has run, downloaded the control file, verified itself, and is waiting for its next timed file check
options for the updater are
enable
disable
check log
delete log
and its found under the 'Download Rats channel list' section of the Ppanel
