    Is it just me, or does the adblock list-->ab list conversion take abnormally long?

    It does take longer than other lists because it has to match the image URL with an item. Then, it has to grab all the items from that category and remove those that were on the AdBlock list. What I suggest is, if you can remake that same list with the other functions, it would be A LOT faster. Converting is only if it is a special list...

    Crossover on Mac? Umm, I'm not exactly sure what that is...is it like a virtual PC on your Mac?

    Also, if you don't mind, could you screenshot the error and upload it here?

    Thanks :)

    What is your OS on the Virtual PC? If it is Vista or Windows 7, most likely, you have to Run As Admin.

    Ditto...

    1. getting a virus on Windows is for newbs only XD
    2. when I get my own computer, it'd have Linux on it too

    Anyways, no more off-topic-ness.

    Hey Lightning, I assume you still check this thread. I tried to use this a minute ago but crashes every time. Does it need to be updated again or whats the go?

    That is weird. I just ran it, and it seems to work just fine, although I wouldn't be surprised to see bugs in it. It was my first program with multi-threading :p. Perhaps try updating your .NET Framework?

    I'll try it again and post a screenie of the error code...


    Edit: I feel like a tit now. Forgot to input the way the list gets generated, like price-ascending and whatnot. That was the cause of the error.

    Feel a tad foolish. Your program is fine Lightning. I'm just retarded.
