DC++

As far as I can tell, GargoyleMT seems to imply that using $ to terminate nicks may be a bad thing, since the newest Neo-Modus does not use it.

Problem fixed (for me, at least). Added some features you'll like, too, Tr0n.
New version should be up now.

Software isn't released, it's allowed to escape.

This happens because the amount of data sent by the DC/DC++ clients saturate your upstream, "crowding" your game-packets out of the way and only letting them slip by occasionally, thus leading to high ping and/or high packet loss rate since they either have to be resent many times or are simply lost...

Yes, it does work the way it should. It does not, perhaps, work the way you think it should, but looking at the way the auto-search is coded, you can bet your keyboard that it works the way it " should " (= how arnetheduck coded it)... however, I just added some code to allow you to decide what crit...

sarf

I suppose it kinda works. But the uploads don't start (always 0 kb/sec). Argh! <sigh> That's what you get from thinking that the DC++ code base is the same version from version... oh well. Going to kick some bug-behind... see you in a few hours (I hope). Sarf --- A good fight is like a stick of bro...

sarf

[snip]I see. But it should check for alternative sources, even if it already has them. That way you can get files faster. You don't wait for one specific user. You check all of them and you start downloading from the user with a free slot. Yes. This is what will happen (I hope) in DC++k, which is m...

sarf

About your reason #2. I left DC++ running for a whole day and night. Source count didn't change for a bit. Files that I didn't manually searched, still had only one user. After I triggered manual search, others were added. This is the correct behaviour for the program. As I gaze into the beauteous ...

sarf

Reasons: #1 There are no other sources for that particular freeware program (or whatnot) that you are trying to download. #2 You have too many other things in your download queue - DC++ auto-searches about once every minute - you do the math on how long it'll take for DC++ to iterate through your do...

sarf

mirza, some of what you want is a simple patch in QueueManager.cpp : // SearchManagerListener void QueueManager::onAction(SearchManagerListener::Types type, SearchResult* sr) throw() { if(type == SearchManagerListener::SEARCH_RESULT && BOOLSETTING(AUTO_SEARCH)) { StringList l = getTargetsBySize(sr->...

sarf

Just a little thing I noticed.... Smirnof100 - you do realize that no one is proposing to allow more than one connection from one user to another user, right? That is, just because multi-source-downloading, multistreaming, segmented downloading or whatnot is added, it will still not be possible to c...

izaram, I can't see any problems with that when I looked at it... however, I haven't tried it "in real life", but since I gather that you have... go for it. Be advised, however, that you probably should ignore the fact that slashes are permitted in nicks. If some person puts up a link to themselves ...

Well, those stupid hub bots don't use regexp searches, and if they so desired, they could certainly add $SearchRegex support as easily as a plain $Search variant that happens to use regexes; its being a separate command does nothing to redefine the semantics of how a client should respond to search...

sarf

I dont see why reg-exp searches couldnt be denied even if theyre using the same command. Because currently search requests are non-deniable. This behaviour is implicit in the protocol, but more importantly are implemented with stupid bots on the hubs. No search results from certain search requests ...

sarf

Due to the number of search requests DC++ is supposed to keep up with, I do not think regexp-searches are a good idea. Unless they're kept strictly away from the $Search command and maybe uses a $SearchRegExp command, so that it is possible to deny searches if your available CPU time is too low (or ...

Disadvantage of metadata thingy: Probability of feature being designed to cope with all things approaches one. If something is designed to cope with all things the time needed to code/design said thing approaches infinity. Thus, what is needed is (in my own, very humble opinion) : 1. A way to get an...

Sorry to continue a thread that's a kind of repeat, but I think the whole techy metadata discussion has a bigger scope than necessary. A cheap hack to deal with just mp3s would be *very* widely appreciated. Cheap hacks, while popular, have a nasty tendency to sometimes (read: so often you'd be afra...

Actually, Sapporo, there is a very good reason not to implement upload limiting (as well as fake sharing, slot locking, ignoring searches and so on) : By having a "vanilla" client, people can say "well, the hax0red clients are bad, but at least we can trust DC++ and arnetheduck". It prevents hub own...

sarf

Actually, this is one of the thing I've fixed in my modified version of DC++. Just press the www button below, or go here . I think the latest version includes an option that will suppress auto-searching for a minute after you search (you can still get search spam if the auto-search fires just befor...

sarf

Ehm... <cough cough>... wouldn't the clients be stupid if they identify themselves? That said, what you can do to identify clients is to either save their hublist then use that to compare when new users connect (downloading their hublist and comparing with the saved ones, if they match to (75-90) pe...

sarf

Nice seeing that reporting uploads/downloads has been taken up here. Let me just reiterate a few points of what volkris, I and others discussed : there is no real reason to force the client to participate since this should be a voluntary on the part of the client... the person controlling the client...

If you are using NTFS on your drives, you can use the really neat tool Junction from Sysinternals (a place with some extremely good utilities for the Windows geek). Junction allows you to create hardlinked files that "are" the file they link to. This can be used to manage your share. Good luck. Sarf...

[snippity]Granted , you could make a fake slot hack , but we are talking majority here , not programers, most could not. This is simply not true.

It is not feasible to try to get people to update three things every time something changes (and please, do not try to m...

This is a possible solution to the problem. It requires the modification of hub software, the software that interprets the hublist and the software that connects to a hub. By using "port tunneling" on the server that the hub is run on (so that connecting to, say, port 80 or 21 gets your data forward...

"Add connected to favorites" Already implemented (though requires you to use a slash-command). Simply type in "/fav" in the chat-editbox in the hub-window (i.e. where you usually type in the text you wish to present to other people in the hub). As to the other... groups of favorites is possible to ...

Just to do some shameless plugging for my new and improved DC++k version - it has the ability to show the H: "As It Was Meant To Be Shown" (tm) as well as the ability to emulate 0.233 (or, indeed, any other DC++ version) to get past the stupid scripts that block 0.24 because it "looks different".

Whilst waiting for the filehashes, we could just create a hashtable where the key is the file size.

still, I must say being not a coder I don't care much about line commands.

[friend quote] Ok there appears to be some misunderstanding here. Probably because I am not very clear about it. The downloader only needs to present a unique'ish key with every file requested.

If it is an upload queue you are looking for then the client might remember the IP and nick of the user instead.
