Are there any help or guide on how to compile the source code for DC++; I have the source code and I just wanted to know if anything other than Visual C++ was needed to compile and link this program. If so, then I can add the option and use it as my personal version, and it will not effect any one e...

Jove, I want the feature because I don't want to remove the file, until I know I have found one with better sources. [NL]Pur, I am a programmer as well, you don't need animals to explain. I understand what you are all saing, and I do agree with parts of it, but I also think this feature is usefull w...

Well, it may not make sence in most cases, but there have been times that I have found it very usefull, and as for the confusing part, then the name of the option can be chosen in such way that doesn't cause confusion. As for typeing the original search string, having the option to do it automatical...

I'm sorry if I've confused people about what I meant originally; I didn't mean that DC++ should use the filename instead of TTH when it does a auto-search to find more sources. You are all absolutely correct TTH would be better and more efficient for this purpose. What I meant for is what GargoyleMT...

There are times when a file addend to the download queue has only 1 or very few users with that file (which might take a very long time to download), but the same file (which differs in a very small amount, but enough to have a different TTH), may have much more users associated with it. Now, I know...

Hi ullner, Why do you want to close it, looking at the bug report I'm not the only one requesting it, others have asked for it as well. Also, this feature existed in version 0.668, so I'm sure it's just a matter of putting the code back in, and it shouldn't take too much dev time. Having the feature...

Yes ullner I had read all of it before I posted, as I said I'm new here, all I wanted to know if it was done, a simple "No" would have been fine. Anyway, I took a closer look and I can see that the status is set to NEW, so it's unresolved. Thank you very much for every body's responce, and I look fo...

Sorry ullner I'm new here, I'll search first in the future. However I could not find this feature in 0.68 (which I think is the latest version); am I missing something or has this feature not been added back in yet?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, and yes you are correct on that [NL]Pur but this has always been very usefull to find other versions of the same file which more users had them. I think it would be a very useful option to have. It cannot be too dificult to add it, since it was already there before version 0.67...

Search for alternates by Name

Hi, Before version 0.670 it was possible to Search for alternates either by name or by TTH, but since 0.670 this was removed, and now you can only search by TTH if there is one. Search for alternates by name was very useful specially if you couldn't find alternativs with the same TTH. For some reaso...
