DC++

a) nobody has taken me up on it yet b) it's already been discussed ten thousand times a.) Calling someones idea stupid, is still a bad habbit. The idea is just not good. b.) Discussion lead to answers or when not just to knowledge and more understanding of the discussed problem. You can find a soll...

Efcourse, i'm well aware of it. But i'm also aware of that that DC++ already downloads to many filelist which dont end beeing used. For example: When i search for alternative source, the program starts to download a great number of filelist, without beeing told to. The filelists are beeing downloade...

My mistake; I skimmed it and thought second paragraph meant second idea. It's still a stupid kluge. 'm totally new to this forum, but since then i I have seen you three times saying that someones idea is stupid without explaining why or giving any kind of good argument. Is that some kind of bad hab...

I also think that the suggestion is good, but it has to be set so that there wouldnt come to an unending chain or a procces which would last for too long. The program should select just the sources with max free slots (for example 5), calculate the speed from all of them and in the end again check t...

I have read your suggestion, but i think that the biggest problem is in informations which wouldnt be current and the procces should be then repeated over and over again. For example DC++ would download 10-20 filelists or even more, and that would take a remarkable amount of time in meantime the rat...

You are trying to say, that it would slown down the hub?

The client should by my opinion find just one source with max free slots and use it.
Then when its lost, it finds another source on the same rule.

I am not really sure if this option isnt already included, but it seems to me that it isnt. I would like to see, that when DC++ itself searches an alternative source for a download, looks for that one (if there is any) which has the most free slots of total number of slots and the fastest connection...
