UPnP support in DC++?

I just downloaded the latest version of Azureus, and was surprised when I saw that it registered a port on my UPnP-router. All done automatically. If we speak of the security issues regarding this.. the security is better than port forwarding, because the port is only opened when DC++ is open. UPnP ...

I've looked into this a bit. I wouldn't ever offer it from search, because it would encourage users to waste the bandwidth of others when deciding which copy to use, but for currently downloading files, I've thought of it. I would've placed it in the file list browser. I often use DC++ to find new ...

Don't you just hate corrupted files? An idea to a new featur

Problem: I just downloaded a large file; took me a while too. I tested the file, and it was corrupted :(. Anyways, I've thought of this kind of utility for a while, standalone; but it would fitted DC++ very nicely. Solution: Not to download the file, but rather 'scan' the file on the other side and ...
