DC++

why not let pl limit their download per slot and add a multi-source download function ? evryone has great speeds :) (to Nyo only: a swistak siedzi i zawija...) Sure, that would work perfectly... in theory. As a homework, please read all messages related to the topic and compile a list of people pos...

If the capping parameters are transmitted to the HUB, a script there might detect any major suspicious setting and thus potential misuse (for eample that max UL speed is ridiculously low) These can be simply faked. If they are in standard distribution 99% of people won't bother to hack client or us...

Some people just don't get it - without the upload limiter I had to close uploads all the time when I wanted to download something, with it I could let them be, and since I started using it my ul:dl ratio went from 0.90 to 2.2... You see, since we don't have a terabyte of hottest stuff to share, 10...

576/256 ADSL This ADSL connection is more balanced than most so doesn't suffer so much from the crushed downloads that most do. However it is still noticeable that downloads don't utilise the bandwidth as well as they could, and throttling the upload speed to about 30K/s (since the max is 32K/s) wo...

Hmmm..is that a good idea? If you are downloading a whole game release for example...most of the time it will be split over many RAR's and in more than one directory..if ONE files completes and it ghets shared...you will be kicked for sharing a not completed game ( in this case)...so it's not simpl...

Suggestions for upload limiting implementation... Non-Idle Network Upload Limiting; Network traffic - DCC Traffic = 0 then switch off upload limiting Network traffic - DCC Traffic != 0 then switch on upload limiting if specified. Let's suppose I leave DC++ running and go to sleep. Limiting code tur...

http://alyandon.hypermart.net/ http://utrum.dyndns.org:8000/ http://dcpp.netfirms.com/ I know these very well. I have to... Problem is their limiting is far from perfect nad since they are not the official distribution, some people consder them hacked. I don't care much about the latter, but the ba...

Apparently, you want too much.

hasn't this thread died yet?. It didn't and it WON'T. Even if moderators would delete it, it will come back, sooner than later. i general see upload-limiting as something bad. And i'll continue todo this. i-haven't-yet-seen-anything-in-this-thread-that-is.going-to-change-my-mind-ly'ers. The day any...

Maybe I should say "should be coded carefully"? If it first checks if such file was supposed to be shared at all, there should be no danger.

good idea, dunno how it would work however... Quite simple in fact. This feature was discussed in the old forums a bit. The idea is that when some user requests some file and the file is not found in the place it had been when DC++ was started, program would refresh the file list like "/refresh" co...

Because Arne doesn't want to :wink: And he did say that several times. Well, it his project... That said I must comment, that such approach is not going to make DC++ prime choice for ADSL users. In fact they will get mods like BCDC++ or turn to other DC clients. While I definitely like DC++ I will ...

That's exactly what I want... IMHO quite simple but definitely nice thing.

The auto-away feature is good thing.
It would be great to also have possibility to define custom message. Some people seem to take offense from the default one... "I might reply if you're lucky" doesn't sound too friendly.

I think this feature would be easy to implement.

When are you planning to release the new version?

please stop these flamish replies. Its up to the HubOwner together with the users that join a hub to set up rules about sharelimits, bandwidthlimits etc. If you don't like their terms/rules, you are absolutely free to join some other hub. Sure it is. If someone sets up a hub, it's THEIR hub to rule...

have an interesting idea (i think)... if this got implimented (i hope not). Why not leave the decission up to the hub, if the "hub" $Support BandWidthLimiting, then enable it in client2client handshakes/downloads/uploads etc. And if hub doesn't, what happens? That's right, users that need the featu...

i understand some of your problems. i have friends in australia who have to pay for each Byte downloads/uploaded etc. (so i send packages of cds to them sometimes). And he definitely doesn't need any kind of control over bandwidth usage, nosiree... But you have to understand we have different needs...

there is no real way to block users from abusing it. The code source is open so they always have the choice to modify it so they won't be caught! MOST of the people don't really want to abuse it. See, the three publicly available mods with upload limiting don't have "leech" features and report the ...

many of us is used to full duplex 10Mbit.... not our fault and yes most of our thoughts consern our own experience with dc. Then be happy about that and stay in your 10Mbit-only hubs. AND DON'T SPOIL IT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE. Or force them to find modified clients with invisible limitin...

it is easier to set a fake description than to impliment a good upload-limit. Hmmm BCDC seems to do upload limits fine... (--cut--) Stopping implement a feature because somone *might* abuse it is not really a good reason, more so when that feature is kind of critical to anyone on ADSL.. Many hubs a...
