Hampus, I can see why you're upset. I don't think Neil meant to step on your toes by releasing ME. I don't remember exactly, but I have a feeling that it was during a period while you were busy. it would have been good for him to ask permission, but I think he most likely wanted to have usable code out there - a functioning program for everyone to use.
I'm excited to see ME2, but it's undetermined when it will be working for people & we have something very nice that works already! as a selfish habitual user of Metalink Editor, I'd like to see the bug fixed & a new release made. :) I also have a feature request - set default metalink type (3 or 4) when saving. & I think it can be set to 4.
