LF-Empire Client

The aspect of DDoS protection is also to named. 362 HTML Files + 362 download windows sites (to get the download link) are 724 access in few seconds. Not each hoster like that.

Fair point.

Piling onto that, we had some DoS-attacks a while back. Not fun, neither for those wanting to browse the site nor for those that have to contact the help desk of the host asking to put the site back live. Nor for those that had to check the server logs for suspicious activity. Righteously so, access to 700+ sites within few seconds will look suspicious on my end... I like the caching a bit more, too. LFE is not really changing itself frequently anyways.

Not really. People don't tend to extract files into "Program Files". Even if you wanned make sure it works inside that folder you could simply just check if AppData/Local/items exists and if it's not you just use the one near the exe. Then you just put newly downloaded updates inside AppData and magically everything works.

I think it is stupid to work with two folders. Else i must check, if i have write access. You work with C#, right?. I searched few years ago about "check access" and found only "try catch statement + try to create a file/folder...". This point I can check again.

%appdata% is kind of what programs rely on to have some sort of data to work with nowadays, though. Or sometimes C:/VirtualStorage which is stupid. As long as the data is tied to the program (install/uninstall), then it's fine. Although I personally do prefer portable apps for this kind of stuff for ultimate freedom.
