DC++

Sorry for (maybe) stupid question. I haven't studied DC++ code regarding logging in etc. And I couldn't get what Pk/Lock things are good for? As I could see from source DC++ responds with hashed Versionstring at the login. But if mod supply original Dc++ versionstring it should be ok. Correct... if...

Then change the logfile format yourself - shouldn't be too hard.
You change the logfile format in the same window where you activate the logging.

Which is it? Are you sure your using DC++k? 0.1774 doesn't have customizable lock/pk much less a random one. DC++k (note: NOT DC++) has had customizable lock/pk for a very long time (I don't remember since when) - you merely had to use commands to access those features. Sarf --- Oh, my God! ARTHUR,...

you've been reading too much http://www.lwave.ca/DCHub/protocol.html I suppose... the semi-colon shouldn't be there That is very possible. It does work, however (which is why I recommended it). Is there a more up-to-date protocol available somewhere? Sarf --- The Bible contains six admonishments to...

Yes it does! !static Lock! I have yet to find a version of DC++ that can't be caught by it though there is one that come closer but still stands out like a sore thumb. If you want to try your client stop by my hub... but don't get pissed when your kicked. [url]dchub://f-t-p.net[/url] I'll be sure t...

The problem was that the PM command ($To) is handled differently in NM DC and DC++. DC++ requires that the PM command is sent exactly as it is specified to, while NM DC allows a somewhat looser interpretation. The specification is as follows: $To: <othernick> From: <nick> $<<nick>> ;<message> ray's ...

thanx , now i can download files but i have problem with saving it to disk. Just one thing, enclose your code within code brackets to preserve your formatting. You should not use the BufferedReader. It is inappropriate, and might cause errors. I read somewhere about a fixed limit after which the cl...

Its not the solution apparently cause the pop ups while entering open. And I did all the modifications you told me. But it doesn't work for the commands on the chat. I don't understand the cause of that. Alright. Send me the address to your hub (in a forum PM) and I'll try to figure out what goes w...

[snip explanation on what real problem was] Ah. I'd recommend you to check the Settings/Advanced pane, where you will find a number of options pertaining to private messages. Make sure that you do not ignore messages from a offline user (by enabling "Popup private messages" and "Popup messages from...

Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 fix I've found an interesting article that describes how to patch your VCSPAWN.exe so that it runs on a lower process priority, thus avoiding the stutters when you edit as you compile your new shiny DC++ binary. Simply open up VCSPAWN.exe (located in <Visual Studio Direct...

I'm an operator on a hub. I decided to use DC++ and realized that the commands of the hub didn't work. Did you log in as an OP to the hub? If not, open up the favorite hubs pane and add the hubs you are an OP in (don't forget to enter the nick and the password you use on each hub). There are no win...

[snip] Its strange because there isn't drive letter in some responds. And how [does the] client knows which file [to] upload? For example I have 2 files: C:\Dir\file.txt D:\Dir\file.txt And clients send to me : $Get Dir\file.txt , which file should i upload ?. DC protocol is strange... :) The drive...

you mean that nmdch doesn't pass unknown commands on to to scripts? that's incorrect [snip] Oh. Very well then, I wish anyone that tries to do trust management in scripts a very merry time. On a more serious note I would recommend allowing people to have an upload/download ratio that is below one. ...

This is all good and fine, but do users really want a server holding all the network's upload/download activity? Some may find the top uploading/downloading users and monitor them for illegal activity or whatnot? I think this will be frowned upon. It is not a requirement that the information contai...

I decided that you have to specify a "passphrase" and then any PM with the "!refresh <passphrase>" syntax which matches the passphrases causes an immediate forced refresh. This is pretty useless IMO - a much better approach is that DC++ would automatically refresh the share when a requested file (w...

Good idea, but much traffic for one server. And what happens if rating server is down ? You don't get ratings. The ratings server should be seperate from the hubs (e.g. not placed on a computer with a hub), and you could solve the whole thing with a 50-100 bytes UDP-packet every time someone finish...

Hey, I was wondering if it exists or if someone could be willing to program this little feature for me. I've finished hacking this together for the next beta version of DC++k. If you want to get the code, PM me. I decided that you have to specify a "passphrase" and then any PM with the "!refresh <p...

Hello Sarf, thx for your pm. Not a problem. The idea has bounced around the boards before, so I just dredged up some old code (plus the fact that DC++ is really easy to extend in such minor matters such as this). In our hub [there] are only registered user from our board. We use DC for communicatio...

Perhaps adding an option to disable the reporting of extra tags would be useful in the meantime?

The only real problem in life is what to do next.

[snipped request for upload size reporting feature] With this information i can script for our registered user a top uploader or downloader list. We need this list to kick users that are only for leeching in the hub. ... if everyone uses your modified version that is, as well as not joining your hu...

I noticed that DC++ .22 has that handy new feature that reports when someone search spams the hub. Is it new? No, it is not new. It's been in the program for quite a while (since 0.163 I *think* - but I'm not 100% sure). In my new betas of DC++k I've added the ability for the user to specify how of...

[snip]I'm not a hub owner just user so I try to kill just leechers harassing me. I'm not interested in cheaters not leeching from me. [snip] Ah. Alright. First of all I ask every fast user downloading from me at a fast rate >100k/s to let me look into their file list and/or download something inter...

[snip]It is easy to modify hypotetic client with upload limiter to report faked info about limit. True. But it's quite difficult to implement upload limiting. Untrue. Exact upload limiting is more difficult to implement than inexact limiting. Inexact limiting takes about 3-7 minutes to add to the p...

Somebody mentioned PM'ing offline users. Well, if we're still connected to them through downloading/uploading, wouldn't it be possible to PM them through that IP? Possible, yes, but it is not supported in the DC protocol, thus leading to another extension (in the $Supports command) and will not wor...
