for some reason I think this feature is a little leechy, I know I know.. the users share as long as they download.. but I don't think thats enough.. many of you have probably tried BitTorrent.. there is a reason why they ask ppl to keep the windows open even after the download is done.. lots of ppl ...

cyberal

And last, even if it means more presure on the hub's bandwidth, so what? It only means that you need to have a connection type, that matches the amount of users, that you want to join your hub. Today it is the hub-owners making all the requirements of the users, why should requirements not be made ...

cyberal

my thoughts.. mynickonlydivxfreak> the new search results are probably from clients that responded to the search request after you left your computer. Your claim that they are new users is simply wrong and somewhat odd btw, how could you possibly know that they were not in the hub earlier? you keep ...

cyberal

This is the same kind of request as gourmet came up with. Picking sources from old, outdated filelists. It is no good. I however have a suggestion that can make "match queueing" easier. It have probably been suggested before.. Today you have to manually download the filelist and press the "match que...

cyberal

still disabling the search icon is on Gargoyles todo-list, this I don't like!

cyberal

also many users have asked for the nmdc-way to prioritise files, is that in the feature request tracker?

cyberal

I think disabling the search button itself could create new questions in the forum about why the search button is broken, I think the best would be to diable the searching inside the search window and to put a msg where the search results should go... "You need to connect to at least one hub to sear...

cyberal

If adding more functionality to the client means that another poorly made hubsoftware can be exploited I see that as normal evolution, survival of the fittest!

Gargoyle> you know this stuff, would implementing Raw commands accually be any threat to anyone (exept poorly made hubsofts)?

cyberal

I suggest you visit the DC++k forum @ http://www.imperialnet.org/forum/index.php

are u sure they are blocking the remote port?
Have you tried changing the port your client uses?

cyberal

but the point is that the Total UL speed will NOT be correct, and if you divide it into slots it will look even more inaccurate! There is no reason (to me) to simply divide the Ul speed into slot speeds, I just want to get an idea of what kinda connection the user has. I don't want this value to cha...

cyberal

is this even possible with the current structure? After the connection initiation the hub has no idea what the clients do! If they did the "stay in hub while downloading" rule would never have been. Hubs could just have closed all connections that a user leaving the hub had.

cyberal

hmm, I think like this: YES, I want to know what speed _I_ will get for my upload! Is this possible to do in a good way? No! I don't belive so! Why... 1. If the user change his slot amount, speeds could differ enormously. 2. Who is downloading from him other than you? 3. How much are You downloading...

cyberal

I think faking or not faking is besides the point here. Why would anyone wanna fake their avarege speed indicator? There are much easier ways to make ppl not download from you! This feature should not be used for some critical tool, it's accuracy is not vital. It should just be a value that points y...

cyberal

Yes! Why not remove that worthless connection type column? It says practicly nothing of the speeds and the choices you have are real stupid. T1 & T3 differs with 43 Mbit (!) Most ppl end up in the DSL & T1 sections. What if we could paste the avarege UL Speed there instead. Would be much more useful...

cyberal

In a good hubsoftware none of what you are talking about should be remotely possible. If folks are still using hubsoftwares that can be manipulated so easily, fuck 'em! (sorry) Implementing raw commands wouldn't make these bugs more easily exploitable, lots of DC++ mods already have this possibilty!...

cyberal

What do you wanna do with that feature? Sounds to me like a genuin SPAMMER feature!

cyberal

Todi> It was a simple question..
"ability to fake private messages" There is no such thing, the hub doesn't accept every single command it gets, if you were to send a pm with another sender name than yourself you would be disconnected. Atleast you should be, if not... change hubsoftware!

cyberal

I want to be able to make RAW User Commands! Why should I be stuck with the preset parameters. I want to be able to customize exactly what to do. Why have this possibility been blocked? How can this be abused?

cyberal

Changes to the User Commands wanted! 1. Enable the user commands menue on normal words in main (to make it possible to perform commands on kicked users and IPs) 2. Implement a settings box to choose where to put the command (search, nicklist, main chat) 3. Add a command separator to make it possible...

cyberal

I didn't really suggest to share less, I suggestied to share the good stuff, which is good I belive. Main stream stuff is shared by everyone, if he has something original, he should share that!

cyberal

one solution could be to simply share less.. pick out the "good stuff".. the things you want ppl to download!

cyberal

Sedulus> great that you have put some time and thought into this, now maybe someone else can finish the work and give it to arne, do we have any programmers that are really good at this kind of stuff??

cyberal

1. More priority settings is not the solution here, it would just make the queue messy, and are you seriously gonna set 20 different prioritys if you download... say an mp3 album.. no way! The solution is to make DC++ download the files in the order they are in the queue. And to make DC++ add the fi...

cyberal

well, implementing a feature needs alot of work.. someone has to do it.. and I think they want to lay time on features that ppl will accually use. And not just because ONE person wants it. If you have the ability to make it yourself you can post it to arne, maybe he'll put it in there.

cyberal

mepmuff:
no no, gourmet wants to get files from users without internet connection!

cyberal

If I understand correctly, we're discussing adding a % downloaded column to the client. No! It's about adding the % indicator to the queue! Quite a bit of calculation just to add a percentage column. Note that this happens on every tick (about every second I think?), and on every upload or download...

cyberal

have you tried kazaa? I think that app would suit you!

cyberal

let me get this straight... Easy. For example I download file from somebody.. k, you are downloading a file, I'm with you here.. Suddenly he goes offline. I start search same file in online users. Not found. ah, bad luck.. still with you.. But I remember - I saw same file in several stored filelists...

cyberal

lol right k, if thats how you want it... /ignore unruled I don't remember any negative thoughts about it It was argued that it would take up too much cpu, apparently that was the reason arne removed it in the first place. I still don't get this.. how can updating a variable once in a while tak up s...

cyberal

"Time left" has it's own column in the new DC++ version.. it may be hidden.. but it is there!

cyberal

I can't add anything more, jbyrd said it all..

cyberal

sorry to say, but I still don't understand.. as a matter of fact, I think I understand less now than when this thread was started.. =) I dont' know name or anything. I wanna search all lists for files about 3 MB what???? I wanna find ALL owners of such files. use the normal search for this, or else ...

exactly!
agree with everything else you said also!

cyberal

lol, you are correct =)

cyberal

the good thing with ADL Search is the fact that you can add ALL the stuff you are interetsed in, and it will appear in the <<< ADL Search >>> folder.. instead of having to search manually for each thing you want..

cyberal

why would you want that?
why not just use the normal search?

cyberal

*ster is (was?) EVIL!

cyberal

1. ADL Search works on all files you open, regardless of when you downloaded them... just add your wanted files in ADLSearch and open the filelists..

cyberal

cyberal

just to make it clear how I want this.. say I have set the path+filename column so the whole name is visible (1)... now.. if I slowly drags the column to the left, making it smaller.. I want the left part of the field to be "hidden".. (2) 1. D:\path to my cool apps\another super path\my superb app.e...

cyberal

In "finished uploads" and "finished downloads" there are one column for file path + filename, if you have long path names and deep trees, especially the uploads window tends to be impossible to use, you would have to scroll forever to get to the filename way off to the right.. My first thought was t...

neat!

but post it here: http://www.imperialnet.org/forum/

accually, the rightclick > search option that exists in oDC is even faster.. this is a great feature!

cyberal

hehe, but seriously, isn't it already there?

cyberal

ok, what about this gourmet..

most hubs have strict rules about what can be shared in that perticular hub, with this feature implemented ppl could potentially start exchanging forbidden files! Such as child porn etc.

cyberal

yes, but in that case one timeout counter is enough (like mentioned above). An simple timeout counter shouldn't be that hard to implement, but if the search must be able to handle multiple searches in a queue, it becomes comlicated..

cyberal

It comes down to this: 1. Neat feature if it existed, nothing to say about that! 2. Lots of other alternatives exist! (ICQ, MSN, FTP, IRC) 3. Implementing this feature would take time and hard work, complicated stuff.. lots of extensions in the protocol! 4. No programmer will lay time on a feature t...
