DC++

"so does anyone know of a "stupid" bot that can do this?" No such script exists. I wouldn't recommend making such a script eithe since partial file lists do not exist. Users would most likely have to run a seperate client just for your hub (or their shares will get them kicked/banned). BitTorrent so...

Theoretically, there could be one person that connected to a hub on their own computer and then connected to mine. Then they could set themselves to passive and spread it.

I love Half Baked.... anyway. Actually this error is pretty scary. I've been examing LOTS of logs to try to understand. As far as I can tell is some DC++ clients (0.181 - 0.231) get confused (looking into this). These computers do not have any hub software or even firewalls (we're all on a LAN here)...

Why don't you just do a private message popup with a link to your hub's website. DC++ now supports double clicking on links in messages and opening your web browser. That way users who hate pop ups won't be upset with your hub.

Just a thought.

Sorry ivulfusbar, didn't mean to confuse you. Just wanted to give as much info in case it was necessary. No the hub is not on my computer. That's why I don't understand why other computers would be sending the localhost address to the hub.

I wasn't suggesting it was a hub issue. DC++ sends the $Search command with the incorrect IP. I was wondering why DC++ would do this. I'm trying to narrow the bug down to specific inputs, but have had no luck.

I run a PtokaX 0.3.2.2 Test2B hub on a LAN. From DC++ users (0.231 and previous versions) I've noticed funny $search commands.

10.69.10.71:2188 > $Search 127.0.0.1:26816 F?T?0?1?tac$ops

Why is the return IP the local host when it should obviously be 10.69.10.71??
