Query: are you behind a school firewall? I don't see the point in registrations if only people on the campus network can access. Though I suppose you might want to keep the professors out....

Any good media player should not need the extension to play a video/audio stream. As much as I like winamp, that is a huge fault in its design.

PseudonympH

Duct tape their socket connection to your TCP stack.

PseudonympH

I tend to think of not playing files because of the dctmp extension more of a problem with the media player than with DC++.

PseudonympH

Seems like we should use the first one's backend and the second one's frontend.

F0 hex = 240 decimal, and 0F hex = 15 decimal. At least his numbers are correct....

PseudonympH

Been suggested and shot down many times before. Use search.

PseudonympH

Silly broadcast searching, upping the order of bandwidth usage.

PseudonympH

Maybe because it's already a menu option, a /command, and a keyboard shortcut?

PseudonympH

I couldn't see there some tab to place featurerequests as mentioned in the instructions. Set the priority to "enhancement." Anyway, the autosearch only happens when there are less than 5 online sources and it matches queue with any new sources it gets (provided you have it turned on). So basically ...

Why the NMDC protocol sucks, reason #458690485798.

PseudonympH

Well, if it's on a college campus, you should be able to find out who the people really are and instead of just banning them from the hub, get a group of thugs together and beat the shit out of them for being stupid.

PseudonympH

I so did not see that one coming.

PseudonympH

Well, for those with non-TTH clients, you don't know if they're sharing the correct version of the file, therefore making them invalid alternate sources. I'm also guessing it won't be that long until some hubs start requiring a hash-capable client (this can be done now because Valknut has hashing as...

PseudonympH

Or they could be clueful and use /refresh (assuming you're not talking about 0.4033, which is a little different)

PseudonympH

Current protocol? Like everything else, it can't really be done elegantly. As for ADC, you can always add new fields to the INF as you see fit....

PseudonympH

Funny, I managed to figure the bugzilla out fine. Now if we could just do something about the 0.235 point font....

He should twiddle his thumbs for 15 minutes, what else?

I would recommend changing the pass and/or setting a username at some point in the very near future.

PseudonympH

This should be in the manual for the router. If I recall correctly, for mine it was no username and admin as the password. YMMV

PseudonympH

liny seems to have good ideas and mean well, but his execution of things in general isn't too great....

PseudonympH

Now comes the issue! DC as per norms checks for any duplicate in the default dwnld directory.I may end up downloading ABC.mpeg again (which has already been dwnld and moved to another folder).With TTH in force can you perform a check on all the shared directories so as to quell duplicates?Herculean...

PseudonympH

Well, there's always having two people uploading the same file to you at the same time, but that takes a bit more coordination to pick up.

PseudonympH

To stop this from happening again, look around (google/hubs) for xp-avifix.inf

PseudonympH

I understand what you mean, and that feature's been thought about for a while now. We all want it in, but other things take priority (if you haven't noticed, DC++ is much more concerned with the backend than the GUI). I was just making it clear that it would be done by TTH, not size.

PseudonympH

If it's added for TTH, it should definitely NOT be done for exact file size.

PseudonympH

I prefer ABC.

PseudonympH

Minus points for not listening the first time, but major bonus points for actually admitting you were wrong (it's ok to be clueless, it's not ok to be ignorant).

Yes, but did the TTH's match? Extension and size are irrelevant.

PseudonympH

People that are this hardcore in their downloading scare me....

PseudonympH

I'm not sure which is funnier, Sed's post, or the fact that roratonet didn't get the joke...

PseudonympH

I get no respect around here...

PseudonympH

To use an SAT-style analogy:

ICQ : DC++ :: send file : post magnet link in chat

PseudonympH

This isn't a problem per se: it's working exactly as it's supposed to.

PseudonympH

No, but you shouldn't be downloading from them anyway since it can often cause corruption. My small private hub recently enforced a 0.401-minimum-version rule, and I'd like to see larger public hubs do the same. And why are you using realplayer when you could use a good player that ignores the filen...

PseudonympH

I don't get what you mean for #1, the first sentence of #2 sounds like a good idea (past that I have no idea what you're talking about), and #3 you'll need to elaborate on.

PseudonympH

I think he means to search *just* by exact file size. While this is not even possible with the current protocol, it's completely pointeless: exact matching is what hashing is for.

PseudonympH

Wouldn't it make more sense to ask at the RevConnect forums?

PseudonympH

This has also been requested around 3.2E40 times.

PseudonympH

I see this as more of a bugfix than a feature request myself.

-- 0.402 2004-06-27 -- * Matching by name removed for queue items with a TTH root (for autosearches) * Autosearch is done by TTH for queue items that have a root So, yes. If you really care, boot up a packet sniffer and see if it's failing at adding the results as sources or failing to search like ...

PseudonympH

Good to see someone who agrees with me.

PseudonympH

The easy way to find out which file would be to grep for their nicks/passwords.

PseudonympH

I seem to remember Reverse Connect needing something weird with regards to STLPort. I could be wrong, though.

"in dc"? How about the fact that it's English? Do you spell search "serc"?

PseudonympH

I fail to see what Quebec has to do with anything.

So on joining a hub, you'd like to get kicked immediately for search spamming?

PseudonympH

Not realistically possible within the NMDC protocol (just adding TTH was an ugly kluge as it is). It's possible under ADC, but I think features like this should be left in modland.

PseudonympH

It *might* be a good idea to have an "open partial with..." option in the download queue, but an internal preview window is definitely bloat.

PseudonympH

Sounds like it might be a formatting.lua problem....
