[QUOTE="omerfarukozer, post: 927655, member: 103632"] Hi, I have implemented a dll for [URL='http://www.turkcealtyazi.org']www.turkcealtyazi.org[/URL] - probably biggest and most up to date Turkish subtitle portal. Library and source code are attached. This is my first .NET development so coding might be poor. I welcome all kinds of feedbacks. Seco, I have a few questions. The site does not provide an API and all subtitles are archieved in RAR files. [LIST=1] [*]Because subs are compressed I had to download and extract them first.
