I like PM'ing myself (don't take that the wrong way). Both through usercommanda and regulary. PM'ing myself notes and the like, as well as PM'ing myself a TTH or filename i found in the search. It's nice.. and i wouldn't want to loose it. I see absolutely no need for such a "feature".

Todi

I seem to remember there being some issues concerning this in the open source community around the time when part of the Windows source code was spread. Essentially, they warned everyone from even looking at the source, because once you've done that your mind could (without you noticing) use the sam...

Chimera is a bot written in VB.NET (source released under GPL), that can login to a hub and has a working socket stream handler. Perhaps it can give you some help.

Note: the "spider" you describe already exists, and is used by just about every hublist out there.. it's usually called a "Pinger".

Todi

Ah wait, you said multi. Ok, in that case it's simple, use a Chatroom in the hub, in for instance YnHub.

Todi

Invite? How about just PM'ing the user and saying "You've been invited!" or something?

Todi

oDC is a seriously outdated piece of software, and lacks several critical features. Upgrade to DC++ 0.668 or latest fulDC instead, which is like oDC in some ways.

Did it ever occur to you to search before posting? This is not a new idea, it's been suggested many times in the past.

Todi

You have no idea about what you are requesting. I suggest you look up earlier threads on the same subject.

Todi

Calm down. First tell us what client you are using? Is it in fact MacDC++ or some other Mac client (where did you download it)? Secondly, you can find a newbie guide in the link below, but it's hard to tell if you'll have any use of it without knowing your client.

Todi

What an original idea! No wait, it wasn't... hint hint.

Todi

DC++ does not have such a feature, but it has already been suggested many times.

Todi

Nobody can download from anyone? Sounds like a passive/active issue. You know that passive users can't download from other passives? If not, is the active modes properly set?

Todi

Specify. Does it take a long time for the users to download from each other? That has nothing to do with the hub. Does the initial handshake take a long time? That might have to do with the hub, but it's impossible to know since you havn't even specified what hubsoft you're using.

Todi

Oh boy, what a large amount of energy and time you could have saved yourself. Not to mention us..

Todi

"Usually"? Only if the user just started downloading the torrent, otherwise it will have holes here and there, less and less all the time. Tell us a foolproof way to detect this.

Todi

Actually, the only way to detect an unfinished torrent is by checking if parts of it are "empty". But that's not a very reliable way to detect something..

I'm going to assume you are also completely new to searching, since we get this question about 2-3 times a week. Please take a moment and look around....

Todi

Newer DC++ versions probably have better support for this. Try 0.668 and report back.

Todi

Sure. Problem is the filename isn't known, and you can't learn it unless you send a search of your own on the TTH. To make every DC++ send autosearches as soon as someone else searches by TTH would be insane.

Todi

You really suck at the searching. There are three sticky threads at the top of this forum (that is, just a few inches above this one), i suggest you read them.

Todi

You do realise thou that this program your friend is writing can probably easily be reverse engineered or just sniffed to get all adresses entered?

Todi

Who said anything about C? You can write it in any language you want to.

Todi

Wrong forum.

Todi

Find someone who majors in C++ programming, or similar. He should know what to do.

Todi

DC++ is open source, just remove that part from it.

Todi

Just set your hub adress to 127.0.0.1, usually works for me.

Todi

"MDC v5.31 Opera" is not a DC++ version. Follow the instructions and try again.

Todi

MDC? This is the DC++ forum, here you can get help with DC++. Download the latest version, 0.667 and see if your problem still exists. If it does, THEN you can get help.

Todi

I don't think they'd like that. But it would probably require bandwidth on a hublist.org kind of scale, almost.

DC++ is a filesharing program, that works through the peer-to-peer principle, i.e users connect to each other and download various files from each other. You can share any kind of files you wish with other people, but you should of course always follow the rules of your country regarding copyright a...

Todi

Why would this be a great improvement? Pingtimes really have no relations to what kind of transfer speeds you will be able to get from the user, if that's what you're after. It's pretty useless outside of checking if the user is online, which he ought to be if he's in the hub.

Todi

First learn to program and make useful changes, then go after the tag (it will come natural to you then).

Todi

Have you tried this with DC++ 0.666? There were some additional unicode fixes there i believe. Also, does this happen in all hubsofts, or just some? Additionally, you say it happens in Passive mode, does that mean it doesn't happen in Active mode?

Sticky: How to set up a dc hub?

Todi

Yes you can actually, as long as you only add one file with a different extension at a time, try it. It is a known bug that you can't add multiple files with different extensions at once. See this bugzilla entry for more information.

Todi

I'm not sure how much a yen is worth these days, but i'm betting it sounds like more than it is. Lawyers are expensive.

Todi

Nice, Hall of Fame filling. Can't get enough of those..

Todi

No. Search. Locked.

Todi

DC++ already uses the TTH for almost all matching of files, filename is at this stage pretty irrelevant. Just make sure you stay in hubs that enforce hashing clients.

Todi

As far as this statement goes Yeah, i know.. and they even have the nerve to suggest features to block other people from downloading from them... unbelievable EAT S__T You don't want to hear it...don't ask!!

Best Way Not To Get Your Suggested Feature Implemented: Get pissed off and angry when one of the DC developers point out flaws in your clever plan.

Todi

Mm.. it would be interesting to know how we're gonna display the number of slots in the searchresults, since DC++ still has problems deciding where a search is coming from.

Todi

Thanks for the effort, but i don't really feel comfortable with the evil operators knowing exactly who i upload to and download from.

Todi

That's not a question either. If you have problems, have a look in the DC++ wiki, there are plenty of examples there.

Todi

Well, it would work for active users, since active searchresults are sent client-client, and as such you already know the IP.

And even less interesting since rar-sharing is so flawed.
