ok, after reading my post I realize: it's not clear what I wanted. I understood that Elbow (which is a good friend of mine) suggested opening a user's chat log right-clicking on its name in the user list. And I wanted to say that opening his downloaded filelist would be nice aswell. So, that item in...

mai9

yes, that's a good feature.

Adding it in the context menu of the user list seems a good idea for me.

I'd like to see in that menu another option: open downloaded filelist, because in good hubs filelists take a while to download

mai9

I'd like to see this aswell

What if this percentage is from current bandwidth? So when I tell DC++ to cap at 50% I am telling that at any given time, the bandwidth to upload is the same as for download. Of course if there are no uploads, downloads take all bandwidth, the same when no downloads. Ah... I'm confused. A 50-50% sp...

Since I jumped in on the queue first, I should get first service. That's how I feel.

You are assuming that you get a slot. What if you don't get it?

mai9

I know there's an upload queue on works. but what about a feature that denies (for 10 seconds) the slot to a user that has downloaded 100MB (or whatever) in a row? Would this be very complex to program? Maybe this is a quick and dirt feature only for mods? Well, you clearly see that the object of th...

You could share collections of amateur movies easily with others, without having to individually search for each specific movie. If you share collections of movies, they are all in your hard drive, am I right? In this case Filelists. And about the backup easiness 1) Download everything from the net...

mai9

This seems a very very complex function, just for those situations when your HDD says bye-bye.

And for those situations, what do you think is better:

1) download everything from the net.

2) copy everything from cdr/dvdr (or another HD).

DC++ only adds alternate files that have a filesize that is EXACTLY the same as the file it searches for, though, so it should (theoretically) be "safe". [snip] I understand that this is the reason of this function be optional, but can I ask for an exact search for alternatives? :roll: Sure. People...

Well... yes! but I didn't understand. Thanks masteryoda for this third explanation

mai9

Well, I have some friends that wanted to build an FTP and ended creating a DC hub

They told me it's easier, and better

mai9

I still don't understand what you are going after. Do you want that for the search window or the filelist window? For the last case, have you noticed the 'match queue' in filelists?

mai9

[snip] And what does "Search for Alternate Locations" do? It searches for other files with a... similar size and with the same filename (well, almost) as the file searched for. similar? why not exact size? :shock: if we can't be sure that two files with exact filenames and size are the same file, h...

Look FoxKat, I found this thread:
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/forum ... php?t=2770

mai9

The proper way to group files together is to ensure that their hashes are the same. I think any grouping before that is just guesswork, and will lead to more confusion about "rollback inconsistency" errors - "They were grouped, why won't it resume to the partial I've already downloaded?!?!!" And wh...

First, I never called you anything. I said either "Are you" or "If". In both cases, unless you met the criteria for those comments, you are a hipocrite. I am not wasting any more time on this. They didn't also specify that any program written which utilizes their open-source, must also be free. If ...

mai9

FoxKat, please don't call me things. I think is plain wrong because of the spirit in it. Creating software that works on top of an open-source project, and asking money for it without even mentioning that the open-source project might deserve some money too is just wrong. I find it even worse that t...

here's the new link, but I think this program is plain wrong.

Thanks for the link. I wonder if users of this program have made any donation to DC++, which is a thing to think as this program can't work without DC++. Think about it. For those who think this is too much.. consider this is the cost of a couple of CDs. Not much for the time savings you'll find fro...

What does this code do? reads directly bz2 files, DcLst too, or reads the decompressed bz2?

Because the worst part for this filelists' searches will be decompressing.

Can't you make your antivirus periodically check your downloading folder?

Smirnof100, you had a great idea!!
I suggested quite the same in a thread called "Offline Searches", in this same "Features" forum.

I feel that a good implementation of "Upload Queue" will solve that problem aswell.

Hei, I had this idea too!!! And I solved the problem 8) I created a program called ReplicaTree that recreates a folder structure (including files if desired) to another folder (all files are zero bytes). When replicating drives you have the option of putting all replicates in a folder with the label...

I think this is a nice feature.

All files with exactly the same filename and size grouped with a '+' sign

mai9

Actually, there's a good chance they're not shared there, which is the whole, entire, complete, total point. However, I give up: there is less, but the amount is not reduced. I dare to say that there's not even less :twisted: Our capitalist society grows with specialization. So an enterprise that o...

sorry, but this is obviously nonsense. No, it's not. :P using only hubs with the high-bitrate-only requirement means having access only to whatever is on those hubs. using those hubs *and* other hubs means having access to what's on both, necessarily more. It's non-sense when you look at this from ...

mai9

Maybe a little offtopic but I think hubowners/bots should automatically send a warning message to users who share 'audiocatalyst' because it produces crappy mp3's. Many people don't know this, but it's very annoying if you downloaded an 192kbit album of 70mb and find out it's al encoded with xing.....

mai9

Well, do as you please. I just tried to help you with the crappy mp3 problem. But don't judge what you haven't seen. maybe a few people will be satisfied with the reduced range of stuff that mai9's strategy gives them access to, but far from everyone will. the take-home message is, it *will* reduce ...

mai9

I suggest to join some high quality mp3 hub as the best option. An mp3 encoded with Xing is crappy no matter the bitrate. (read this last line again :wink: ) The best feature of DC++ is having closed hubs that get specific on what they offer/share. For example: only anime, or only books, or only mov...

mai9

The simple truth is that the vast majority of DC++ users - say, 97%, but it's probably higher than that I am not discussing your idea, but where did you get the '97' number? And my guess is that very many more people would start using DC++ if this feature were added, including some that mai9 would ...

Try just finding some albums in non-Xing format. For instance, certain Video Game soundtracks. Which videogames' soundtracks are you looking for? None... Though Dragon Quest/Warrior was my specialty once. They have way over 50 albums. The real question is what video game soundtracks you're interest...

mai9

Yes, this happened to me too. But I am a happy user since v0.242 was introduced. When you open a filelist you can see a button called "match queue", this button will requeue items that are in your queue and in the filelist at the same time. So, when the guy you download from changes the path, you on...

mai9

which videogames' soundtracks are you looking for?

Maybe adding specific files functions in dc++ will make it slower? and if dc++ has some mp3 features, ogg users will ask the same.

btw, could dc++ build your filelist once the program is loaded? My DC++ take ages to start.

mai9

I see you prefer forums!

So, this idea has come before....

And what kind of motivation do you need? You even like the idea of searching filelists!

mai9

I thought that maybe ADL Searches could join the Offline Searches I suggest in the other thread.

mai9

1) Barring users with a mix of bitrates will exclude the vast majority of users. Along with them will go most of the music out there. Barring Xing from a vast majority of users, will make this world a better place to live. 2) If you want to run a specialized hub, you're already limiting the potenti...

Will this be added in the feature?

What about joining a high quality mp3 hub?

It couldn't be easier

mai9

The a feature I am missing most is Offline Searches. This will search on downloaded filelists instead of using the hub network. Why I am looking for this: - Can search on users that are offline (the most important reason). - No need to be connected (obvious). - Can have all results (normal searches ...

Ok, I'll build a special version for you :roll: I don't think much people use that old format, but what I'll do is put a warning if the program can't find a thing in the first line. I will put the log format I got in mind when making the program, and encourage everyone to switch to it :wink: You wil...

Yes, the checkbox in the "ADLSearch Properties" (shouldn't it be "ADL Search"?) is perfect to explain without words what that other checkbox in the main window does.

Yes, there's the problem. Starting from the end of line, this program searches for the "(" character, then the "," and finally for a space to get the size and the username. Anyway, How old is this format? There are two paths for implementing it: 1- short path, would take some time when running the u...

2. Override the priority search. Then, for each item in the user list, to compare it with the ADL search items. It will take a longer time than option 1, but search info will be present in all search folders. Users who uses priorities will confuse when they see that priority dissappeared. I don't t...

mai9

I don't thing the program can do such a thing. Maybe a solution would be to put that message you want to comunicate in the same folder where the file is stored. If you want a message for the file "winrar.exe" you can put a file called "better download 7-zip!" in the same folder, and if you want that...
