1. Hi, after last update I realised that you cannot unckeck - Upload Database from Curse Client. Maybe I am in a holyday and my computer is still working home some stuff. Can I get an answer how can be deactivated that check once and for all?

2. Why the heck the client sends my hardware profiles and where? Can next version have a control for this please?

3. How can the user know what info gets out of his computer via CurseClient? Where whould be more logs for this app, and a XML config as any others apps have?

Ty very much and hope for answers,
Nicarah

1. Not really sure why this was removed if it was.

2. I can't answer the other questions but 2 is a bug and the client now seems to be sending the hardware profile even if you tell it not to. At least during the initial installation. It will probably be fixed soon.

3. There's a few logs if you enter Start -> Run -> %LOCALAPPDATA%\CurseClient
You can also run the application in debug mode under the start menu entry which should show you all file operations it does.

for 1. it was not removed the option let you uncheck it (like dont upload data), but next time you restart the app will be again checked..freaking awesome :)
2. ok thats a bug then, any guess if next version will contain the fix?
3. indeed there are some logs in "C:\Documents and Settings\%USER%\Local Settings\Application Data\CurseClient" but I cant see my hardware profiles that left to Curse. That needs a log too imo.

Curse Client designers - you must understand people concern about what exactly leave from their computer via your program. Make the logs more transparent.

Thank you,
Nicarah
