I had a pretty good post but it got lost (no post mode specified), so here is just the big picture: Both zlib and chunk and sha1, md4, md5, crc ... could live side-by-side easily with the $Supports It's like this: Client A sends: "$Key <key>|$Supports zlib md4 md5 chunk crc|$Get <filename>$resume_po...

Version issues... (mainly for developers)

Hi people, there are some issues I would like to discuss with you: It's about the dc++ version string, is there any logic in the version string other than incrementing it whenever it's published? Most of us (in other software) use versions below 1 (0.x) to indicate that this is still a not-ready-to-...

Supposing that your question is: After having downloaded a file, can someone else know from where I downloaded it from? The answer is no. There is no way for someone else to know from where that file camed and since there is no date tag in the dc protocol, we can't either check to see which one is o...

I don't know, maybe I didn't understood you, but I took the time to re-read your posts and if you didn't meant the http port (or protocol for that mater) then I really can't see any advantage in what you suggest. What you described is in fact part of the file transfer protocol (FTP): You connect to ...

oohh, but I have read the specs.. and I know it is possible because I already did it once with version 0.161. Yes, I implemented SOCKS4 and 5 in DC++ before (sorry for not posting, but back then dc++ had other problems that arne, I and some others were dealing with as you can see in the dc++ changel...

What you might be forgetting is that most ISP redirect traffic going to destination port 80 to their http cache proxy. And if the traffic does not correspond to the http, then most of ISP cache's will close the connection. Also, like said, asking a hub to connect to you is a bad choice for many reas...

Not so important feature: Auto slot

I have a new feature suggestion: The creation of an option in the Settings->sharing window named: "Automatically add x slots for each connected hub" This way, each time we connect to a new hub, dc++ will automatically add that many upload slots. The default would be 0, which is what is now. The curr...

Well, I now see that the effort was to make the client-to-hub connection more easy for those behind firewalls, but the greatest improvement in using socks is, for me, to mimic an active connection in all aspects , removing that limitation of being unable to transfer files passive to passive. To the ...

ok, after a quick look at the code i've found the incorrect code: It is under client.cpp. There are some lines like this: if(SETTING(CONNECTION_TYPE) == SettingsManager::CONNECTION_ACTIVE) { ... } else { ... } that must be changed in order for the socks to work as it should, because socks are also l...

SOCKS Proxy: Is it working properly??

I, like many of dcpp users are behind a firewall or nat router and we do appreciate the development of socks proxy support. But is it working properly?? I believe not. I did not had the change to look at the code yet, although it has changed a lot since i last seen it, I suspect that it has at least...
