DC++

OLDoMiNiON

True, i get your point, however, i can't see anything being done about it, unless some nice person sends arne a patch

OLDoMiNiON

"hacking" eh?
or is it simply programming, since you're just modifying the code

;)

OLDoMiNiON

oh, yes of course Ryan ;) I was just simply reffering to the fact that it's not a requirement for a protocol. X25 (?routing/routed? i can't remember, heh) i think is an example of a protocol that has little or no error correction, thus rendering it useless in thge current day and age, in the shadow ...

OLDoMiNiON

did you see what i just said? The whole point in multiple lists is to split the bandwidth load between hosts! If every DC++ client is modified to dld every list, just think how much bigger the bandwidth loads on the lists would then be! ..the eventual outcome would be that most of them would shut do...

OLDoMiNiON

..thus defeating the whole point in splitting the massive bandwidth between multiple machines

OLDoMiNiON

yes, good call. also, here is a list of useful checks that i made a while back: Things to look out for in Lock/PK string variations: - Client with DC++ tag, and random lock & pk strings - Client w/ DC++ tag, and other non-dc++ lock & pk strings. e.g. too many "ABC"'s in pk. - Cleint w/ DC++ tag, sho...

OLDoMiNiON

If you have multiple lists in your config, 'd like to be able to skip through them of my own accord, not only if one list isn't working.. since, some may be working, but are just crap.. heh.
Hope u understand me, it's too early for computing :-S

OLDoMiNiON

"Someone told me that it had something or other to do with getting your file list or a small file so that it sort of doesn't count it as a slot at first and then they can somehow get a large file right after."
Nope. Never happened to me.

OLDoMiNiON

Yeah, you're almost correct Ryan. Isn't it the Transport layer that's responsible for error correction (layer 4)? ..and not lal protocols have error correction. COLYPTiC - Obviously, you have failed to realse that eny transfer protocol used here, will have error correction.. it would be insane not to!

OLDoMiNiON

This is all i get in the error log without the pdb file..

Unhandled Exception

Call stack info:

i'll get you one with it asap..

OLDoMiNiON

Interesting thread! Yeah, i think encryption would be useful on some parts of dc... the protocol especially. Another thing would be to encrypt an individual clients dc++ favourites list! There are reports of people hacking OP's box's, and stealing their OP passwords to reak havok on their hub.. Coul...

OLDoMiNiON

No, that's probably because they are either using NMDC, or using a slot locking client.

OLDoMiNiON

So? It's easy enough. It's done in DC++k, DC++ ClientDetect Mod, and BCDC++ also. I don't see the problem. It works fine, and doesn't cause any unwanted things to happen...

OLDoMiNiON

Could add a little integer box to limit the number of search results are actually displayed in the search results window. It wouldn't save on bandwidth, though i think it'd be a nice feature.

OLDoMiNiON

Yeah, but i want it in standard DC++

Since it's so useful for Op's, why not implement it?
It's not exactly abusable, since anyone can get their connected users IP though netstat in 2 sec's anyway.. I dunno why it hasn't already been implemented tbh.

OLDoMiNiON

hehe, good one

OLDoMiNiON

well, we have nick..etc etc, how about IP? it'd make banning through a standard dc++ client a heck of a lot easier

OLDoMiNiON

you have to take into account the fact that 3 slots open for someone on a 128 upstream connection, is kinda the limit... otherwise speeds can go sub-zero, heh. So if i alread yhave 3 slots open, and then want to download from maybe 5 people, do to faster download speeds.. with your theory i'd have t...

OLDoMiNiON

Works fine for me ;) Make sure your settings are all correct.. also try to limit the number of downloads you do at once.. otherwise you're connection may get clogged up. Sarf, check the other thread, i've made a few suggestions about other possible OP-specific features that may be useful in this rel...

OLDoMiNiON

Nice one, works great!
Hmm, do you recon you could built auto kick into that (optional)?
and also specified file checking, so it checks the filelists for certain file names, and flags them up too?

OLDoMiNiON

Kewl, thanx i'll give it a go..

OLDoMiNiON

yeah, should work.
deoends on the server soft really. Usually 1 for main hub, and one each for scripts, but some are different..

OLDoMiNiON

I'm curious sarf. Why did you get rid of the useful OP-like tools in DC++k?

OLDoMiNiON

what of perl.. i say what of PERL?!

LUA is good, but it's not as powerful as Perl. Suppose you'vce already thought about this... what are you reasons behind chosing LUA over any other scripting lang?

OLDoMiNiON

http://www.xstreamnetwork.net/

check out this website. The websmaster is working on a new DC Hub and client, which should be pretty good. Go and give him some support, and post in his forums..

thanx
OLDo

OLDoMiNiON

Yup, you are right - i personally would like to see this happen to some extent.

OLDoMiNiON

Yeah, so Opera probably doesn't support Active X, and IE only supports it when you have very low activex security levels.. - which is crap cos i can't change them at college

ahh well..

OLDoMiNiON

also, a $ip variable for OP's

OLDoMiNiON

Impressive! I've wanted something like this for ages, in order for me to admin the hub from collage and the like..

Do you know why the ActiveX control does not work in Opera?

OLDoMiNiON

and $hello's, and not to mention the "denide" sp mistake

OLDoMiNiON

When bush is backed by the UN!

i for one don't wanna get a nuke up my ass because Bush decided he could do it on his own! (..and i'm from England! but since we are allies, they'll target us both..)

OLDoMiNiON

we've now been running Open dc hub for a few days now, and it seems fine appart from a few minor bugs...

however i've seen a few hubs using "Linux Direct Connect Hub"... does anyone know what s/w this is and where to get it?

thanx
Chris

OLDoMiNiON

have you thought about implementing perl scripting instead of (or aswell as) LUA?

it's so much more powerful, and works great in open dc hub.. ?

OLDoMiNiON

k, i don't understand most of that stuff atm mate

thanx anyway, it was a good read!

OLDoMiNiON

sorry, i was talking about opendcd.. my bad! however 1 thread per user puts a lot of strain on the processor i should think.. or so i've been told! however the *real* open dc hub that were now looking at seems very nice! Does anyone have any experience using this hub s/w, and could you tell me it's ...

OLDoMiNiON

i know of open dc hub, but it seems very unstable, and uses one thread for each user! (arghhh!!) :-S

what are my other option, and are they any good??

thanx
Chris

OLDoMiNiON

now, now, children...

OLDoMiNiON

this would be kewl:

The ability to immediately search for alternate download sources when you press the download button (looks in the current search result and adds all the files with exactly the same size, so you don't have to explicitly search for alternates)

OLDoMiNiON

well, for a start u culd post your question in the right section!

OLDoMiNiON

no, bad idea!

DC will turn into SoulSeek where people make their own rules up!

not a good idea at all!!!

OLDoMiNiON

oh yeh, stupid me! lol

anyone have any ideas?

OLDoMiNiON

well, it's pretty obviously an sdk error...

i'm updating now.. i'll see what happens

OLDoMiNiON

i get the same...

OLDoMiNiON

yup, true!

OLDoMiNiON

hmm, interesting...

it could possibly increase search bandwidth usage by a heck of a lot tho..

OLDoMiNiON

ok, didn't read the whole thread b4 i said that.. a lot of you are putting forth some good ideas and suggestions!
however i doubt that arnie will go along with it..

OLDoMiNiON

ok, do you realise how many thousands of posts have been made on this issue? and how many times arnie has said NO?!?!
he has his reasons, and in my mind, they are good ones!

OLDoMiNiON

hmm, maybe it's something to do with this:

okay i use vb6

lol

OLDoMiNiON

trust me, it's there..

OLDoMiNiON

the Ptokax hub software already does this, you can do any form of nick format checking, using regular experessions..
