About
Hey, I’m Grad van Horck, a software engineer somewhere in his twenties (I was born in january 1984, so you do the math).
After receiving my Bachelor of ICT degree, I started as an software engineer for Schouw Informatisering (Strategic IT), where businesses in the Food & Beverage industry are automated. My job is (of course) developing software for our clients, while also being some sort of .NET-evangelist throughout the company.
When I’m not working, I also tend to create some small applications I just need for myself. If they are ‘done enough’ I’ll post them here on my site, but most of them don’t get to that stage.
Also, in weekends, I work as a freelance lightoperator/-designer/-technician.

Greetings Mr. van Horck
I can mail you a .rtf with screenshot and error details of a .NET error/crash which occured a few times on one of my pc’s while using SynoDownloader 0.5 if you want it for troubleshooting purposes.
Error occured when adding torrents configured with SynoDownloader as the assigned torrent handler.
- Torrent got added fine, but .Net crashed and the pause/resume etc. functions of SynoDownl. disappeared.
I didn’t investigate too much, could be I just miss a patch or two for .Net, and are running Windows 2000 on this one.
I’m leaving the Synology community for now, and returning the CS407e I’ve had just for a few days - it was the wrong solution for me, and will now try the Qnap TS109 + a Promise NS4300 for raid5 duties, as I think this unit has hardware raid control. It sadly isn’t really clear with these units, but I found a review where it stated you could just connect to it’s ip after adding drives to configure the storage before adding the applications that Promise support.
We’ll see.. ;o
Best of luck to you and thanks for trying the SynoDownloader - hope I’ll find a similar application for the Qnap
Sincerely
Lars

Hi,
Ik zou best wel mee willen helpen programeren aan SynoDownloader.
ik heb een vraag ik heb nu een ds-107+ maar had eerst een FGS-3 om torrents te downloaden gebruikte ik rtorrent het was behoorlijk omslachtig om daar mee te comuniceren (via ssh m.b.v screen) dus wilde ik daar een eige frontend voor schrijven. Nu heb ik een ds-107+ een keek met ssh wat er draaide en zag dat zij ook rtorrent gebruiken om te downloaden nou vraag ik me af hoe de comunicatie met rtorrent gaat, want rtorrent moet je in een ssh sessie draaien waarbij van alles naar het scherm word geschreven.

Beste Grad,
Sinds kort gebruikt ik je Synodownloader en ik ben er erg blij mee. Het is weer super dat er mensen zijn die zoveel tijd besteden aan iets waar vele mensen plezier van hebben. Chapeau.
Als ik een foutmelding tegenkom ben je dan geinteresserd in de dump, dan mail ik je die.
Nogmaals dank, Rob

I have to express some thanks to this writer for bailing me out of such a issue. Because of exploring through the the net and getting tricks that were not productive, I assumed my life was over. Being alive devoid of the approaches to the problems you have sorted out as a result of the posting is a critical case, as well as the ones which may have in a negative way affected my entire career if I hadn’t noticed your web page. Your capability and kindness in controlling the whole thing was priceless. I’m not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t come across such a stuff like this. It’s possible to now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your professional and results-oriented help. I will not be reluctant to endorse the blog to any individual who should get recommendations on this topic.

Ik waardeer deze info, denk ik wat meer dan doen met mijn vakantiedagen en dit helpt.
