DC++

Twink

I'm starting to wonder if we should use the BCDC style of limiting, ie do as much as you can through the protocol then do extra filtering locally.

Twink

if you know the person you're downloading from a tool called zidrav turns out to be very handy.

Twink

There are plenty of other programs that let you video conference, and they'd likely be alot more efficient with more features then anything put into dc++ would have. Basically i dont see it being worth effort putting in a feature that useless, and yes I do mean useless you're talking about putting i...

so you want this feature then?
I dont think I want it.

Twink

how about you give us an example

Twink

I would have thought the solution file better, as the solution contains many projects

Visual Studio Solution file - DCPlusPlus

Twink

are you opening DCPlusPlus.sln in the main folder of the latest source?

Twink

please read/search the forum before posting ideas, chances are most things like this are very common.

Twink

did you just read the fact that someone else thought of this, or did you read on to find out that this isn't exactly possible with the current protocol so isn't going to be added (although with the whole ADC protocol being designed....)

Twink

besides, if I wanted to be mean I could just make sure I have another file transfering when I start up dc++ so this test makes it look like I have less bw then I really do.

Twink

Well, having to pay for international traffic might make that a more attractive feature to you. Twink's client, PhantomDC is used by a fair number of .NZ users, who (I understand) are in the same boat (having limited international traffic). Maybe he'd have more motivation to add this feature to his...

Twink

personally I tihink some form of backup system would make more sense, it would allow you to recover from a greater range of problems.

Twink

Personally I wonder how one is to ban your mod with the IP column added back in (I know at present its basically dc++ but in the future) I mean its such a simple patch and its undetectable.

Twink

It would be nice if they just submitted new features as patches to arne, but judging by the fact the first and only thing they did was remove the ip columns maybe a split is neccesary as I'm guessing they aren't happy with the column there. Obviously arne wouldn't accept the ip column dissapearing, ...

for expert like you, it's safe.
for newbie or idiot it's not safe. because no $getmeta yet.
why not dc++ do $getmeat first, but ADC?

so bascially you're saying that hashing isn't integrated into multisource stuff yet?

Twink

The suggestion of having different share directories that compromise one's share, and being able to toggle them on/off easily (while still being global) has been suggested. I don't know of anyone who has coded this, which also rules out the possibility of me knowing if they've contributed it to DC+...

Twink

yes we get that you want to remove peopel with no slots available, but dont see why you would want to. None of us others (well none that I know) sit there and remove people without slots from our queue as we figure they may have one in 5 minutes.

Twink

This kind of functionality doesn't belong in DC++, but rather in the filesystem itself: the organization suggested would benefit me as the user of the system as much as it would random, pseudoanonymous strangers from the internet browsing my files. These two programs facilitate such on MS's only fi...

Twink

personally I think if this was to be implemented then unfinished files would have to show the full size of the file, but maybe like mentioned earlier an icon or something to show that it isn't actually finished, it then could be added as an alternate for a file, and if a missing part is requested th...

Twink

In my case, I do share my downloads dir, but the dirname is "downloads" so everyone knows they are not validated. When a new album or movie is out, everyone is downloading it from eachother, so when everybody is also sharing the files he downloaded, the spreading goes a lot faster.. I think that th...

Twink

what do I think about it?, I think this forum has a search function for a reason.

Twink

If folders where added then it probably wouldn't sort well with the headers anyway... A way to solve this is to make a public hublist containing all the hubs in your favorites and use that as your public hublist, you can sort etc all you like in there, ofcourse it wont know your password or custom n...

Twink

you can't really schedule downloads as they require slots from remote people that you have little to no controll over. setting it so that no other file downloads until X finishes is likely to be a bad idea as if you dont get a slot you are wasting your bandwidth. The best way I find is to manipulate...

Twink

does the dropdown box not solve this problem? (set the filetype to exe/zip etc) alternatively you could try bcdc which does this. I'm pretty sure there was a question about this feature recently, i would be nice if you searched for similar ideas before posting new ones.

Twink

but sometimes I want the opposite, I know it sounds weird but I do find it handy occasionally to set things to paused while they are downloading so they will get as much as they can then just leave that file.

Twink

DATE="" a minimum of 7 characters (obviously which are highly compressable, then a date Well, dates in the Favorites.xml are handled like this: LastSeen="1077857279" - if they were/are added to files.xml, they'd be in the same format. yeah that makes sense, I was just trying to think of a # of byte...

Twink

What in the world do you share? I'm guessing lots of small pictures and stuff. Dates shouldn't be too much of an issue I would think, they'd add (per file) DATE="" a minimum of 7 characters (obviously which are highly compressable, then a date 20040324 (whatever format you like probably days from a...

Twink

Ops however do have the option to send a message to the user inquiring about files and maybe the possibility to get a slot etc to check the file. I believe that it is better to talk to the person rather then kick them straight away (which obviously has its problems with people being away etc and you...

Twink

erm ok maybe I was wrong, having another look at the source makes me think its doing something rather weird if not totally wrong in the encode function, and if the decoder decodes that then I guess it might be alittle off too, but then again I am tired could be wrong yet again.

Twink

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, this code isn't making any compression, I would even say that it makes and expansion, due to the fact that It didn't compress any data, and writes additional infos ;) If someone have another algorithm/source code? Can you try be alittle more clear? from the loo...

Twink

/me looks confused.. what kinda cpu are you running?

Twink

Twink> hm... but it should be possible to detect which users that support "date-filelists" and who doesn't.. the same way dc++ decides who it will send xml filelists to. yeah but we dont really want yet another type of filelist to deal with. There's already 3 as it is. I'm guessing arne just ignore...

Twink

this would make the filelists incompatible with people not using dc++ thou Why is that? DC++ sends its own special type of filelist if the person uses the $Supports statement. If any other client decided to also accept the xml filelists, then they need to keep updated with the specs for it, especia...

Twink

#1: been there, done that, got the t-shirt . Mods such as BCDC++ do have support for this, though. The problem is that because of the way the protocol is structured, there's no way to have an actual upload queue, making everything simply a free-for-all. Yes but he wasn't asking for a upload queue, ...

Twink

I thank you all for discussing the technical possibilities to integrate a feature to Identify completed directories or files (depending on what one was downloading). If is not possible or too much codeing to transfer the file to another directory. Maybe a Finished download list could be implemented...

Twink

<MainFrameWidths type="string">#,#,#,#,#,#,#,#</MainFrameWidths> really should be defined with unique id's rather then relying on indexes within an array but that would take up more space be more complex to code. What I did do for my mod (PhantomDC) is that when reading the frame widths in, if the ...

Twink

It just saves me the hassle of using crappy windows search to try and find the same named file. DC++ thinks files are dups if they are the exact same byte size or does it look at the filenames too? Removing the file sorta creates a problem for those who are downloading file sets (ok, an album in my...

Twink

I wouldn't call myself a nerd i may be considered on by others but that doesn't mean I call myself one. Just because the feature has been thought of before doesn't mean that its going to be implemented, alot of features are requested over and over but have been rejected every single time. However to...

Twink

There is no remote admin features in dc++ itself. However alot of the hub software have some form of remote admin using telnet on some ports.

Twink

I'm pretty sure this topic has been covered and that the creator doesn't want to spend time porting dc++, however it is open source so if you wanted to you could port it yourself. However there may be another client that someone made already for OS 9. Try searching this forum for "mac" you'll likely...

Twink

well it is also used in mirc, and thats where i took the screen.. i didnt actually know dc++ had that kind of coloring for the background (was it added in a recent release ??) but anyway you still cant use it on font coloring Well, you can define any kind of font color for the main chat in BCDC++ (...

Twink

And yes, upload capping sux :D Upload capping only sux when its abused, alot of people would not be in hubs if they could not cap their upload partially so that they can actually download at a reasonable speed. Other times I find myself wanting to upload something to my website so I cap the person ...

Twink

Other clients support variations of this being dchub://hubname.com/user/path/file.avi advantage of your one being that the hub address doesn't need to be in the chat. PDC opens the users filelist and selects the file (like the goto function from oDC) instead of queuing it automatically, but I dont s...

Twink

This might be an occurance of the safe and compressed transfers bug. Try disable that feature in advanced settings and see if they still repeat. Personally I find this feature too handy to turn off for long periods of time, so I only disable it when I notice people having problems.

Twink

I personally think that these are no way near as bad as NetLimiter and that most modded clients dont deserve to be banned. I entirely agree with you there. The cheater clients I was referring to in my previous post are clients specifically modified for the purpose of cheating. I would NOT in any wa...

Twink

Rather than going through the difficulties of trying to detect who's capping, wouldn't it be easier to just introduce a capping mechanism into DC++ with a defined UL/DL ratio and then just run searches for known modified cheater clients? Admittedly, this doesn't detect bandwidth-controlling apps li...

Twink

Sorry, but... are you sure the /ignore command does work ??? :shock: (it's just because a f****** guy was annoying me on a hub just because i'm french) So i though i could use some commands (like on IRC) to ignore his messages (PM's). ignore doesn't stop private messages. However you can always kee...

Twink

The problem as I see it is that some hubs I want to connect to, do not accept some of the topics I share in other hubs. It isn't only pr0n, but there are hubs which doesn't accept mp3 files and hubs which doesn't accept anything but their topic. If I had to add the share for each hub seperately the...

Twink

try looking up other posts on visual studio 2002, they have similar problems and from what I've seen none were fully resolved. might just be easier to update to 2003 if you can

Twink

well to be honest I didn't even understand the search code, I didn't spend too much time looking at it. Are the bloom filter things not regenerated when the search is refreshed? as ignoring the search would be hard as identifying if the item is in a disabled child folder might be alittle annoying
