DC++

It has several votes because it’s been requested before multiple times. And there already are mods with this type of feature built in. Because of that, having a new mod with only this feature seems useless.

I would suggest that you simply submit a patch instead of branching off.

as long as he's currently (also) online in my hub, he gets an extra slot.... Why can't you just run a special instance of DC++ for this distribution hub, and set the number of slots to 999? Doing that seems to solve your problem, at least from what I understand it to be. Why try to mess with the co...

... the following proposal. In the DC++ client could there be a feature added ... When the users u/l speed is reported to a hub There can't be a solution to this which resides completely on the client, because the client can say whatever it wants to whoever it wants. (And that whatever could be lie...

It sure would be easier to also post a link for the source on the webpage, instead of having to look around sourceforge for it.

In all that case if you are downloading from an user who has cheked "automatic update stop in case of leaving the hub" you lost your download I think thats pretty explicit on the part of the person your downloading from. They may feel that you should be in the hub actively sharing if you expect to ...

That's basically a download threshold for satellite users. After they hit it, they get disconnected and have to wait for a while before being able to downlad again. I would see much better use of this feature in an external application, since any network application would affect and be effected by ...

I don't understand; what would be a False Multi-source Direct Connect Client?

If you can code in C++, one would hope you can figure out how to forward port the project files from an older DC++ version if you need to use VS6. yeah, I probably could. But that's not something i'm going to spend my time on right now. Well considering it would take less than 1/100th of the time t...

I think many of you are forgetting why programs first added this type of feature a long long time ago - when a constant internet connection was not common. This would be very useful for people who sign online though a modem, especially if they don't have a dedicated phone line - comparable to a dedi...

I think this would better be accomplished through a hub/script, with a command to request this information. If it were done by your client, the only information it could gather is during the time you are in the hub.

I agree with wanting to easily see stats on compression. I've been wondering if the compression might be slowing down a lot of transfers on my campus hub, but I havn't had any time to perfom accurate test runs. I havn't seen downloads from my campus hub in the past few days go above 8MB/s, whereas I...

This sounds like an interesting idea for helping cache disk usage, even if it only helps in this specific situation. However I don't think many people would be able to make use of it. Anyways, an IDE hard drive should be able to last a minimum of a couple years with correct cooling; and if they fail...

Not more than DC++ compilation errors!

Thats odd. From the latest released source I don't get any errors.

I like the idea of windows minimizing to the top of the program. I constaly use the arrange icons menu because I change the list of current connections. This could be a nice option for appearance.

DC++ by its "kind" is a simple program. But the 102 .h files, 69 .cpp files in it's package plus the 320 files in stlport and v7, can drive even an expert developer out of his minds. I'm assuming by your statement that you are claiming yourself as an expert developer; however your reason is quite c...

In ConnectionManager.h, this line
typedef hash_map<Ptr, u_int32_t, PointerHash<ConnectionQueueItem> > TimeMap;
(Line 37 of this posting date's CVS)

Should this be HASH_MAP as configured by config.h?

I keep reading about "Hashing" and how it seems to be a requirement for segment downloading (or at least a major part.) Except I don't see the need for this. Can hashing please be explained more or can I be pointed out to where to read about it? The main problem I have with it, is that as far as I u...
