Not sure what you mean. The Restart button is displayed immediately the "Apply" button is pressed and download initiated (not completed) - so eager users click "Now" immediately almost always fail. AFAICT The timeout seems to do nothing ( I reduced the value to test) really except maybe refresh a page. If the Restart is not displayed until download is competed - with a 10 minute download (for example) a user will doubt whether anything is happening - some user feedback is necessary to confirm download is in progress. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112241 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
