DC++

Arne, Have you ever thought about client-hub authentication? Scriptwriters all across the community are doing the weirdest things to seek and destroy fake sharers, with moderate success, and nasty side effects. If a robust means of client validation could be constructed, the whole issue would simply...

I agree with Yilard. If you don't want to share, or even don't want to be searched, DC is not for you. There is other software around more suitable for traders. I think the beauty of DC is partly that it makes life for fakers and traders harder. Not hard enough. though, imho.

Remotely refreshed lists are too vulnerable for abuse. I'm sharing a mapped network drive, if someone would send me a forced refresh every minute or two, my network would grind to a halt. You'll get users asking for config options to disable it, and programmers doing just that. Previously it has bee...

ANY sort order would do for me. Main thing is not to start a new dl when there is an unfinished one with same user/prio.

That is just what i needed.

BTW: it'll be done in Lua, for some new hub soft i won't mention here. Might port it to VB later if it hasn't been done before.

Thanks again

I would like this both as a comfortable feature and a stop to a common way of cheating (they just rename the shared folder).

I've seen gadget's script but i don't think it is correct. Besides not catching all, which no script will ever achieve, i fear it kicks some nmdc clients as well. I concluded that after inspecting the script, and some recent reports from users indicate the same. Thanks for the link, now I can discus...

Thanks, mate, that helps. Seems i'm running into a blind alley here. There is extended info but just on the $lock command: CryptoManager() : lock("EXTENDEDPROTOCOLABCABCABCABCABCABC"), pk("DCPLUSPLUS" VERSIONSTRING "ABCABC") { }; And clients never send $locks to the hub, they just respond with $key ...

Trying to make a script to kill stealth clients. While trying to figure out the DC++ code, it looks as if there is extended info in either the $LOCK or $KEY messages that would contain just what i need. Two questions: - what is the structure of those messages? - is that extended info sent only on cl...
