Radiate II

[hooziewhatsit]

Has anyone gotten this program to work? I installed it, said no to update it on the web. It opens, I just don't have any data to work with. When I tried to update it via the web, it gives me connection errors.

Or does anyone have a link to the older version of radiate?

thanks

Funny, mine installed fine. Maybe there's some disturbance on the server Radiate2 tries to conect with at that time. Did you try again?

Mine worked flawlessly on two different machines at two different locals. Maybe you're firewall (if you have one) is causing a problem.

 

[hooziewhatsit]

Do you think you could send me the .dat files? (I assume that's what they are) I would greatly appreciate it.

The only "Firewall" I have right now is a server computer that our connection coming in, then using internet sharing on a second nic it goes throughout the house.

Has anyone figured this out? I wiped my HDD and went to Windows 2000. Now I'm having the same problem? Maybe Radiate doesn't work with Win2K? My copy worked fine on WinME and Win98. Installed it last night on Win2K and there's no data to work with, and when I click web update I get a connection error as well. I know my firewall isn't the problem because other programs update fine. Were you running Win2K as well? If so we may be out of luck.

 

[schmidty]

I've got the same issue - but to confound problems even more - I dual boot win 98 / 2k.

Both have the same error, and even though the program says it generates a error file, I've not been able to find it.

Cheers!

FYI

I have e-mailed Kevin Croft (developer of Radiate) with our problem. I'll post his response when I receive it.

I was planning on doing that two days ago. Man I'm lazy, can't even type a few sentences

 

[AMDGuy]

Ok. Kevin Croft e-mailed be back. Apparently his domain is down and that's why new installs of radiate won't work. The program is designed to go out and download the updates upon install, but since they're not there it bombs. He sent me the following links to get the dat files:

http://kevin-croft.jpl.nasa.gov:81/coolers.dat
http://kevin-croft.jpl.nasa.gov:81/processors.dat

Thank Kevin!

Attenction Guys,
it's a very good program but have spyware code in, like many progs can confirm you!

I wondered about this. When searching through the dat files to find them I noticed there was one in my "temporary internet files" directory that had a bunch of my information in it. I couldn't confirm if radiate had created this or not.

To test this do a search on your PC for "*.dat" and see what turns up. I did this looking for the PC dat files and found one about me! Like I said, I couldn't confirm if it was Radiate or not that produced it.

It is not spyware, it happens to share a name with a spyware company.

Well, is what the programs noticed in the article that you linked in your post, Ad-aware 5.4 Plus, said me after a scanning process :-(

Excuse me for the incorrect information.

The Doors,

Radiate is a new name for Aureate, the real Spyware. If you install Kevin's Radiate, Adaware will show two "Aureate" folders. Don't worry about them. If you ever get more than two "Aureate" folders, then you have Spyware on your system. I believe Kevin has been in contact with Adaware to correct this problem in future versions of the Adaware program.

Fellas,

Hopefully my site being temporarily down hasn't given you too much grief.

I emailed Ed a couples weeks before I turned my server off - unfortunately he hasn't posted my message to the main news page. (hence my email box fills will people asking for the dat files!)

Thanks for speaking up about this ad-ware/spy-ware accusation.

I haven't made a dime from Radiate and never plan to. It does exactly what it says: it calculates thermal values to help us better overclock our systems! Nothing more.. nothing less.

Please tell people the truth about Radiate if you hear someone making accusations that it's "spyware/spamware".

Cheers,

Kevin

PS - Someone sent me an updated coolers.dat file with an additional 15+ new coolers. Scroll up to find a link to this and copy and paste the coolers link into Radiate. Double click the URL Box to take it out of it's readonly state so you can paste the URL in.

If any of you have made plenty of good additions to either the processors or coolers dat files - send them to me, or simply post the links!

Hey Kevin, welcome to the forums. Thanks for the info on your server being down.

 

[hooziewhatsit]

I still get a division by zero error when I try those new links.

Same here....

 

[krcroft]

Sorry guys - Apache probably went down or something - I'll check it out when I get to work tomorrow.

Until then, I've attached a zip file w/ the dat's in it.

Would someone out there with a reliable server like to host these files?


- Kevin

Id like to thank you Kevin, Ive run adware a few times and Radiate came up, but to tell you the truth it was too useful to get rid of, even if it was spyware, It a relief to know that its not.

Noticed the previous url, your at the Jet Propulsion Lab?
WOW
What do you do there?
