Just what I was afraid of.

Thanks for the reply, GMT.

jbyrd

What happens when that user goes offline? Then nothing gets downloaded.

jbyrd

Cyborg was complaining about the fact that many users don't have safe and compressed transfers enabled in this thread. It would be nice if there was a column in the search window that let you know if safe and compressed transfers is enabled on the machines that the search returns so you can utlilize...

jbyrd

Why do you have the hub window open anyway? Just minimize the hub windows, because there is nothing particularly useful once you connect and read the hub information.

jbyrd

It is.

jbyrd

Good deal.

BTW, I understand your argument, Todi. I don't particularly like the idea, but I didn't think arne's reason was very reasonable. Just knit-picking.

jbyrd

This is not a feature that I would find particularly beneficial, but I can definately see how it would be beneficial to others. I am well aware that it is in the rejected feature tracker, but that is because arne said it is too much work. But what if someone else were to write a patch, would it be r...

With the new system, the client downloads filelists for the autosearch feature. During that process, an upload speed for that user is established. The faster uploaders could have a higher priority...and the slower ones, well, you know. The problem with this is that some filelists are so small that t...

jbyrd

Sorry for being vague. Seems you understood, though. Well, that's too bad. There are times I would like to see how many results show up. A simple count++ would do the trick. Any takers?

I really need to learn how to compile this bad boy. (don't we all agree?)

jbyrd

I would enjoy a search hit counter. Would this be difficult to implement?

I searched the boards with no results. If it's a dupe, please moderate accordingly.

Any thoughts?

Gargoyle, I understand that the changes were implemented to decrease the number of filelist downloads. But, what I'm saying is that it shouldn't be at the expense of finding alternate sources. My idea of a solution to the existing problem would be this: If we are concerned with the number of filelis...

jbyrd

I don't understand your last comment at all. I have no idea what you are talking about. Hopefully I can clarify (feel free to patch my holes in logic/fact). I thought the problem with the autosearch feature (and the way it is now) was the strain on hubs. In particular, passive users provide an extr...

Here is a similar topic.

Have fun reading it!

"I would try installing without formatting" (me)="Try a repair first" (joakim)

Thanks for stating it correctly.

Upon reviewing my previous statement, I have come to the conclusion that alcohol was still prominent in my blood stream...especially the blood in my brain.

jbyrd

If matching someone's list against your queue results in more sources, that will translate into less auto-searches, which is definitely a win for the hub. Thanks for the clarification, Gargoyle. :) So, the excessive filelist downloads is the result of not being able to perform an adl search on prev...

jbyrd

I would try installing without formatting. Or, if you have system restore (ME, XP)...I would restore back to the operational days.

jbyrd

Well, it's obvious that I don't fully understand the details of the protocol.

But, anyway, I would still like to have an option to choose how many alternate sources I want...instead of having some arbitrary preset that has no symbolic meaning whatsoever.

jbyrd

Yeah, but it seems that the client doesn't have the ability to efficiently search multiple filelists if they are compressed (.bz2 format). The easier, the better, though.

jbyrd

Well, it seems like the only place I was wrong was... unless by the grace of God an alternate source from file#1 also has file#2. But, what good is a single source that is an alternate for, say 10 files? Well, I guess it depends how large those files are. But, if we are talking >100MB, then that sin...

Alot of people (myself included) have been complaining about how many filelists are being downloaded as a result of the .305 autosearch feature. I never would have complained if I would have known that the result of my whining would be this: -- 0.306 -- * Changed autosearch so that it only searches ...

jbyrd

Yes, this would be very useful for my daily (nightly) cybersex chats with certain anonymous hub users.

jbyrd

Unfortunately, it's a Rejected Feature.

jbyrd

I like it, too.

jbyrd

Sorry if I'm asking questions that have been addressed in the Ratings System thread, but I am still treading through it.

Another question, do you suppose that such a ratings system attracts unwanted people (**AA) because we are rewarding uploaders, on top of having hubs that have share limits?

jbyrd

Neat.

So, how do you keep people from simply deleting their key, resorting back to zero points (which would be beneficial if all you do is leech anyway) and begin downloading again (much like Kazaa's rating system vulnerability).

Sorry, but I don't use e-mule...so I don't know exactly how it works.

jbyrd

so if someone i've downloaded a lot from want a slot i would autogrant him one. and if someone has downloaded a lot from me he dont get a new slot... Yes, this would be unfakable...and I like the idea. If you want to kill/stop DCStealth, fakesharing, and some other bad client behaviors, this is the...

Ratings systems are a joke. Read Wisp's post again, and come to realize that there is really no fair way to implement them. There are ways around the rating systems... For instance, I have two computers on my network. I could very easily upload from my main computer to my other computer (which woul...

Sounds great in theory, but here are some possible problems with it. You can decide if the PROs outweigh the CONs. 1. It encourages people to share popular files, which are already plentiful, and not rare ones...which people won't download much. This will also encourage people to change the names of...

jbyrd

Why? Do you want to update what is in your shared folders?

If so, type /refresh...and it will refresh your filelist.

So, TheParanoidOne...let's hear it. You ARE the one that started this thread...and the newest of the bunch to add an avatar!

Nope. Just that it's been requested.

Well, I thought you pointed it out because of linksync's reply to that thread...his opinion is one in which I tend to agree with.

jbyrd

I think Paranoid pointed out that it already is a feature.

jbyrd

Mine's really not that complicated...I guess.

I just really love playing pool (especially 9 ball, 14.1 Straight, and One-Pocket). I have won some pretty huge games...including two against Janette Lee at a somewhat local hall. Ok, we played 12 games...but not too bad.

jbyrd

The only problem is...

You should always check your downloads to make sure they are:
a) Legit
b) Not corrupt
c) Good Quality

If you just throw them in some directory, and then share that directory...you are likely to spread poor downloads and waste alot of bandwidth.

jbyrd

So, when did this change? .300? I sure wish there was an option (let me check...nope there isn't one) so you could specify if you want the files there or not.

I don't see it in the change log...

jbyrd

Possibly think of a way to implement it so that it could not be abused and maybe be included in a future release. Is this really possible? You don't take into account those that have the knowledge of changing the source and changing "10%" to "100%". Also, it sounds like this would just promote more...

jbyrd

LOL. How about requiring the user to press "refresh" once the new hublist is selected to reiterate that they are getting a copy from another hublist server.

filelists should be downloaded to the filelist folder so I'm not sure what u meant by the folder thing.

* Added option to automatically download filelist and match it on autosearch match. This will dramatically speed up autosearching, lessening the strain on the hubs as less searches have to be done.

I understand all of the concerns presented, but I truly don't see this as an abusable tool. Surely it can cause problems if used excessively, but I don't see any real benefits from searching every hublist in your menu. I usually try different ones until I get a list in my window, and then I don't me...

jbyrd

Would it be helpful to have one search every 30 seconds or so (unless a failure is detected) to avoid flooding the hublist provider with requests?

I take that back. I did see this one, but I misunderstood his request. Mine is still better, though.
