BandcampDownloader VS AutoUpdater.NET

Soulseek and / or bandcamp downloader.

For Bandcamp, I'm using this Github tool called Bandcamp Downloader that allows you to download songs, albums, and even full discographies of artists on Bandcamp. There are also plenty of browser-based downloaders on the internet, just Google search.

There is a telegram bot which downloads from deezer and you can tell it to use your spotify playlist @spotify_down_bot (On telegram) Some songs are on spotify, but not on deezer. you can try bandcampo https://bandcamp.com/ using https://github.com/Otiel/BandcampDownloader/releases/download/v1.3.5/BandcampDownloader.zip (Just the normal bandcamp downloader from github). and if you can't find your songs there look on https://soundcloud.com/ you can download using https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl but if the program scares you, just use https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/ which is the same but with a nice look.

Just remember, piracy is theft. Support the artists you like.

This shouldn't be needed to say, but for the love of all things Goth don't buy the fucking album... If you want it just use a Bandcamp Downloader please

It's not a website, it's a project.

You could also maybe check out AutoUpdater.NET as another possibility.

Aa others mentioned, it just more common to have an auto-updater mechanism built-in in your app. Check out AutoUpdater.NET which periodically check the server for new versions, download it in background and allow you to present a "update ready" button to the user that quickly restart the app to the new version when they are ready to apply it. A bit like the Chrome or Discord update ready buttons.

Good catch. Hmm, looks like Squirrel might be a no go. Oh well. My examples were not heavily researched. Just something to point in a starter direction. At a glance this looks promising too: https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET

Libraries like https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET, and plenty of others. This may not fit your needs, but maybe it does.

But it AutoUpdater.NET(https://github.com/ravibpatel/AutoUpdater.NET) does quite the same. It only looks at your own server instead of github. You should be able to get an idea of how it works and how to implement it using github instead.

I have a few desktop apps that uses AutoUpdater.NET to update the app on startup, as well as one app that's linked to a mapped drive. Since both apps are self-contained, it's always been a pain to update them - you either have to copy the entire 150 MB publish directory to your update location, or you have to pick and choose which binaries were updated, which you'd then push into a ZIP folder.
