Please try to submit the patches to arne so he can include them in the cvs or/and make them public somewhere. The client lib should be made os independent (i.e., do not use unstandard features from windoze). Target system / gui stuff goes into subdirs. Example: client/ - Generic os independent proto...

Don't know about winelib but dc++ can be run under wine. I am and it is working fairly good.

Yeah I saw that this was an already rejected feature request. But after I posted to thread.
Sorry about that.

I rest my case even if I think it would be good with some fairness in slot allocation.

Instead of keeping a count for each it easier to have a strict queue and the connection attempts are just used to notify that the client still want to stay in the queue. When a slot become available a $RCTM is sent to the first client in the queue. I know there are clients out there that have an upl...

Anyone following this thread? I really think is time to take action to continue implementing the gtk part of dc++ so linux users (and other os:s) can use dc++ on their comps. I've been trying out other dc clients but frankly, IMHO, they suck. Could the persons that worked on the gtk port please make...

One problem that I've noticed with asking for a slot is that people just aren't infront of their comps. Usually you leave the client on for long periods of time while being absent (which is of cause ok). An outline of a fair slot allocation algoritm: Each downloader with nick N connects at regular i...

Slot allocation fairness

How does the slot allocation take place when a user tries to download a file but fails due to outage in upload slots? I guess allocation is done by a first come first served basis. Such random slot allocation algorithm is unfair to the downloaders. More reasonable would be that each request for a sl...
