[snip] Hmm. Well, we definitely need to be able to return hashes with $Search results sometime, to get the hash to passive clients. Or do we? I suppose a passive user might be the only one of many sources of a specific file online at a given time, and you need the hash from him/her to add it to you...

Ok I found where theproblem is: if(aResults.size() >= maxResults) { where maxResult is what i was looking for; BUT i still cannot understand where maxResult is inizialized... This is where arnes code gets a wee bit cryptic... you see, maxResults is a parameter to the method in which the code you sp...

Yilard, I think he was talking about the feature that (among other apps) the Explorer uses to update its file/directory window when files/directories are created... but perhaps you did, too? Anyhow, WhosYourDaddy, this functionality is not used by DC++ AFAIK (at least not in DC++ v0.232 which is the...

Oh. Alright. Well, the ip command is needed for those with pesky ISPs who change their IPs/force them to change their own IPs (by force reconnect every 24 hours or whatever).

While complete file hashing has to be done before you start to share (at least in my opinion) file-segment hashing can (and should) be done on the fly, while the user is downloading the file. My reasons for this is that the amount of data that can be saved increases quite rapidly when we start to do...

sarf

But the filename/size part can still be used by DC++ as it is and it will be useful since most people who download stuff use the same name. I just meant that we can use the links as things stand, and if people get used to using DC++ to download their ShareReactor files, so much the better. Sarf --- ...

[snip] Opera, I admire your work on your oDC++, are we going to see more bug fixes and features making their way into DC++? (The same question goes out to cologic and sarf, too. :)) Well, as I've released the source code to my latest client (unlike some people :)) it's just for arne to cut'n'paste ...

Well the major problem with this is that ratings should only be considered if they are from the same server (or a trusted one), or else a user could set up his own fake ratings server. The Advogato stuff could be used in the scope of measuring trust of external ratings servers, and therefore extern...

Well I talk about the hypothetical layout of a new protocol not the [implementation] of it. And I [don't] think it is significant to argue about what brand of a solution is implanted in the final product when we talk about a theoretical layout. To be quite frank, yes, you are right - it should not ...

Leave an option to report a certain number of slots, or people will never get into a hub at all (since they have no transfers going, they have no "slots free/used"). I am all in favor for ditching the slots, but then again, I usually have negative three to five with nine slots normal, so... Sarf ---...

Make sure you are using the "right" versions of STLport and WTL. I've used files put on the DC++ SourceForge download page, but other people have had issues with this... search for STLport on the forums if you think this may help you.

[snipped Avogato text] As to the other problems, I finally remembered an old but powerful solution: weight reports based on reporters' scores (and perhaps reporters' rates of reporting). Honestly, if the top sharer in a hub wants to screw with the system I don't mind too too much :) Agree. We do ne...

While you are talking about hashes, why not add support for sig2dat at the same time ? (the hashes used by kazaa etc). [snip] Because adding immediate support for ED2K links would be useful in and of itself. The code for supporting hashes and such could be put in later on, but the ability to click ...

OK, then. This is how you do it (quickie version, not too much explaining). Find the "include file"-directory list box in the GUI of your IDE. Make sure to move the STLport directory so that it is FIRST in the listbox. Make sure to mvoe the WTL directory so that it is SECOND in the listbox. Putting ...

"Force attempt" does not have an effect (as far as I know) if you already have a connection to someone. As to what could be done, either an extension to the protocol (bad sarf!) or you could automate the whole cancel connection/reconnect thing to reduce chance that you lose your slot. No guarantees ...

[snipped quote] But it doesn't work very well in the VGM hub I'm a part of, at least not for MP3s. There are ~ 60 - 80 people with ~ 1.5 - 3.5 tb of music, and you're lucky if there are three sources for the same file. Everyone has their own styles of tagging, and, quite honestly, since some of the...

I do understand you - what you mean is that you should be able to download a filelist from someone even if you are already downloading from him/her/it. Currently, this is not supported and it would require a change in the access code (which currently is geared to limit each user to one slot, no matt...

This issue has been discussed before (and is being discussed on the board, I think).

but rating must be by community, all comunity don't have same rules and hubs aren't interessed by the same quality of client No. The rating server stores all information about a transfer. You, as a client, then selects what parts you wish to mark as important. There is thought to allow OPs to artif...

why not use the same method eMule uses and just take 25% off both Upload and Download leaving some bandwidth free for surfing the net/checking email etc, as for how to secure it, theres lots of ways but all (that i can think of) would only work with a new Hub-soft or perhaps NM-Hub with a Script as...

sarf

Well... as you can't connect to more than one hub at a time using the normal DC++ client and its public hub list window, I fail to see how this could be relevant for DC++. An always on top feature for any window (including the favorite hubs window) would be good, though. Or was this what you really ...

[snip quote and info about queue] These amount to providing the client a way of restarting the connection protocol. [snip rest of explanation] Ah. Interesting. This way we'd be controlling exactly who gets the slot. I like it. I've vascillated over upload management policy, and I'm still not sure I...

I believe Sarf may have implemented this in DC++k . I'm not sure if it uses the $MultiSearch and $MultiConnectToMe commands in the DC protocol, but it probably does. Yes, it did use the "true" hub-networking commands, and it worked... "somewhat". I merely grafted on the multihub support, but anyone...

Well, I thought I'd go and comment Sapporos interesting post, but then the darn volkris beat me to it.

I sent Sarf a copy of what I'd done based on his mod...

I'm honestly pretty afraid of overbloating this whole ratings thing, it's already heavier than I particularly liked, but I suppose a reference platform is allowed to be bulky. Just look at Freenet :) That's one of the beauties of making a reference implementation... unfortunately some hub owners do...

[snipped analogy] I did not intend to attack you with my rant. It was merely a byproduct of having tried to flame fregu334 or whatever its name was. The fact is, that DC++ works fairly well. If the programmer so wants, he could fix the few bugs the program still has, publish it as the final version...

just let the users create their own search schemes in XML then you can add your own preferences to DC and that would be enough... Let us just get a few things straight here. Whenever a search is issued in the DC protocol it contains a few things, like whether or not the search is using a constraine...

sarf

[snip]In other words, yes, the download information we get that specifies the source hub can be use to imply that the client is serving query replies :) Well, sure, but, to my knowledge, that means that a hub hash (or something that uniquely identifies a hub anyhow) has to be sent with the rating d...

Make sure that the STLport is highest in the list, ABOVE the WTL. Make sure that the WTL is DIRECTLY below the STLport. Make sure that the SDK directory is DIRECTLY below the WTL.

Ah, good example. I guess my basic intuition is that someone who is always transferring (has overlapping uploads) has more "good stuff" than someone who idles. But that might not be true at all, if the file sizes are large enough and the transfer speeds low enough. What do you think? I think that t...

sarf

It seems that the time period during which users were actively uploading has more weight to it than a period during which they were not. I think for any contributing user, their uptime and their periods of transfers should be identical. Really? What if I upload 900 megs of data to someone in about ...

sarf

Very well, I think that even a user gets a slot, an algorithm should still apply to see if they should continue to get the slot. Without the rating system, this would have to be pretty simple, as in a time or size limit. I think in any case there should be set a minimun reasonable length of stay in...

I'd like to keep stats on users' uptimes, but relying on them logging themselves out is dangerous. I was trying to figure out another way. I used to think that cooperating hubs would make sure people were reported as logged out when they were. Hmmm... we could use the facts we do have to make some ...

I agree, I think it's one of the features that people who've tried other P2P applications look for. However, doesn't a queue lose a lot of effectiveness when someone can stay on it for days? You can integrate a ratings system and have people wait based on all sorts of interesting criteria, but if t...

Yes. Yet another assumptio...

So part of what eMule does, on a per-client basis, is keep track of who let you download from them (via a userhash, so you can change IPs, names, etc.) and then uses that number, as well as the priority of the file they want to download to determine how to weight them in your upload queue.
