-Needs to be portable, where it writes to no where but that hosts file.
-Auto upgrade to new versions.
-Command-line support.
-Less child windows, whats wrong with tabs?!

Good luck

I'm the developer of HostsMan.

@HeilNizar:
1: You're right. As a developer, I have a lot to learn.

2. Nowhere in the official site (abelhadigital.com) is mentioned that HostsMan is portable. Some sites decided to label the non-installer version portable. Why they do this, I don't know. You have to ask them. I haven't submitted my software to any site. If my software is featured somewhere, it's because they decided to add it to their sites.

3. This version is in beta stage for a couple of reasons: a) there are features missing; b) a lot of stuff is untested.

4. The bug you mention will be fixed in the next beta, but please realize that I'm not a mind reader. The best way to let me now about a bug is to either report it in the official forum or send me an email. I'm here now because someone else brought this to my attention.

5. I merely develop free software to offer alternatives to existing solutions and also to learn from it. You're more than welcome to develop your own.

You look like a noob developer..
-Portable and AppData don't mix, portable means write to no where but your app folder.
-After reminding you twice that you need to fix the download size status control, you finally fixed its Y and not X on resize.

I guess I will have to submit my own HostsManager app.

From: rloureiro Re: HostsMan V4.0.80 B1: Cannot download/install HpHosts Fi

I've just finished fixing this bug.

Just want to let you know that this is a UI problem. HostsMan does download updates from hpHosts and hpHosts partial, but fails to report the download progress correctly.

I expect to release Beta2 soon.

Once again, thanks for reporting this bug.

This one is not working, updates failed etc, I can imagine its beta.
Also I noticed that you still didn't fix the position of download size control when GUI gets resized, it doesn't even start in the right position.
