DC++

I'm trying to get a rough idea of what hardware people are using to run their hub servers; specifically I'm interested in: CPU: How many processors does your system have, and what clock speed? Ram: How much memory is in your system, and what spec is it (PC2700, etc) ? Net: What's your upload/downloa...

I agree; this is a much needed addition that would considerably cut down search traffic when used properly (i.e. by ops searching their hubs for offenders without searching other hubs too).

You said it yourself, it's implemented for speed and extensibility, hence C++. A C interface would make it perhaps a bit more portable because it would work with other compilers (as c++ has no standard name mangling scheme preventing linking libs from other compilers) and would be easier to import ...

hm.. before replying to that, could you tell me what it is you have problems with: c++? i.e. you want to compile pascal/delphi/vb/c# plugins? msvc++? i.e. you don't want to have to pay for software needed to build the plugins? (and for the quick reply: the linux version needs gcc (which is not msvc...

I do hope that C++ (MS VC++, specifically) is not the only thing you can compile plugins for DCH++ in, otherwise that rather defeats the whole point of the plugin architecture in the first place.

If you think about it, a DC hub server probably does more work (at least as far as socket transactions go) than most web servers; yet most web servers on the net are running on dedicated server hardware, whereas most DC hub servers are run on plain workstations. The reason is obvious, but the fact r...

It really goes on a few things; First one is the server setup... multi-processor systems cope much better with multi-threaded applications. However, the problem with the multi-threaded approach and a DC hub server is that 90% of the activity is relaying messages to the other connected clients. This ...

I see no mention of this; maybe it's automatically implied, but I'd be happier for the clarification. What about the $Supports command? I know Nev has said that he's tested firing off unknown commands at both DC++ and NMDC and both were fine with it, but would it not be a better idea to stick to the...
