No more troubles with Firefox 1.5.0.5: you can download massively again! 🙂
Bugs in decoding non-western charsets were also fixed.

The update is strongly encouraged.

• bugfix #14751: dTaOneClick doesn’t work on Firefox 1.5.0.5;
• bugfix #14654, #14658: troubles decoding non-western charsets.

We’re aware that dTaOneClick is having troubles since the release of Firefox 1.5.0.5 . We’re already working to publish a fix during the week-end.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

This version fixes some – hopefully all 🙂 – the problems related to unicode characters. A big thanks goes to Nils for that. We’ve also renewed some of the code and fixed minor annoying things. Complete changelog is below, as usual.
We’re very close to the long waited 1.0 version, so please remember to let us know any bug you may encounter posting it into our Bugzilla account.
