What am I agreeing on here? Well, there were that blood-signed contract we talked about, last night... :) I meant that we do not want clients to report things that will directly lower their own ratings. Oh, and to answer the other question you asked, a user has no incentive to give out any false in...

{quote="yilard"]code excerpt from ShareManager.cpp:[snipped] Doesn't seem to be _that_ trivial :( if you don't want old clients to die on that assertion at the end. I hope there is some check somewhere that I have missed, but I don't think so.[/quote] asserts should prove to be no problems as most o...

sarf

Uh, so you would just ignore the hash-part? I thought that was like the meaning with ED2K links. =) Of course it is. It is just that there are nothing wrong with immediately supporting ED2K links, and adding hashing support later on. An add-on need not be complete, it only needs to lead further tow...

sarf

And I agree with the earlier assertion that hashes should be part of the meta-data that could ideally be returned for search results (though it's a non-trivial extension to both DC++ and the DC protocol). It is a rather trivial extension as you could use the file type byte to do a hash-search reque...

sarf

never mind i finally took the time to figure it out, its not really that hard i just didnt want to waste the time doing it hehe Uhmm... why not post the code (or at least a link to the code) that you use to do this here, then? This would make it easier for all those young, aspiring VB programmers t...

great changes is one good thing, as well as changes that might annoy people...I dunno, but I have it just in case...well, and I probably put more weight on a post in here than in...for example...the help forum... Hmmm... Do you have any great changes planned? Implementing hashing of some sort? Usin...

The downloading person reports to the server specified by the person he is downloading from. Better? :) Much better. :) I'm tempted to say that no, reporting does not affect the reporter's ratings in order to prevent people from, say, sitting around downloading things only so they can file reports....

Is [there] some [way] to save the [finished file] list [because] my [DC++ program] have crashed sometimes and my [OS (Windows)] wants to reboot sometimes. And after that I dont know what file is downloaded and what file isn't downloaded. Currently, there is no way to save the finished file list. It...

sarf

If DC++ would accept and support ED2K links just as eMule or overnet it would be the optimal filesharing tool! Perhaps. What is an ED2K link? How does one use it, both as a programmer and a user? Give links - don't expect people to either know what you are talking about or care enough to go digging...

[more explorer-look-alike interface] Convince arnetheduck to consider directories as files in the download queue and you should have no problem. Be more specific.

[using ul/dl ratio as a toggle for upload limiting] Unfortunately, this would be hacked. Even if no one makes a modified client with it, they would make a "patch" or "crack" that would set your ratio to some high value simply by looking at how the value is encrypted, thus ensuring a good ratio for ...

sarf

Every reporter has to get the server from the person it is uploading from . Ehm... uploading from ? AFAIK, you upload to someone, not from them. Do you mean that the downloading person reports to the same server as the person it is downloading from (this seems likely to be the case) ? I mean there ...

sarf

[snip Kick fakeshareusers automatically] First of all, you'd need to download the file list for this to work. Perhaps this is what you mean by "handshaking", but the truth is that the only thing you can get from handshaking is the lock/pk values, as well as the $Support string from extended clients...

sarf

It is not possible. The way searching works is this: You send a search request with some stuff in it, notably a number of words and a file type (size: one byte). Currently, about 8 file types are used. In NM DC, the AUDIO file type corresponds to file with an .mp3 (as well as others) extension, in D...

sarf

Unfortunately, Direct Connect does not support checksum searching. This would mean that only DC++ clients would be able to "listen" to your search, thus the search would not give many responses. There are also those that wish to implement checksumming parts of files to support segmented / multi-sour...

sarf

No, as a first step you introduce an upload queue, We don't necessarily need a queue. We could just change the sending rates so that higher ratings mean more data in the output buffer. I don't know how it's actually done in DC++ but you get the idea. Perhaps we could also offer a queue that would o...

sarf

What is it that is to be discussed here? Improvements for DC++? Great changes of the source code? Nasty discussions about modified clients (hehe)? The colour of the forums?

See this post on how to make two instances of DC++ run concurrently with no problems. It's left as an exercise to the reader to make three instances run concurrently.

[snip "me want different shares in each hub" feature] There is one reason why this is hard to do : It requires that the code for the share handling to be seperated and changed for very little gain. What you can do is simply run two instances of DC++... Now, I don't know if this supposed to get out ...

sarf

I'd hate to put yet more information on already (appearantly) overburdened hubs. Does DC currently give clients any way of knowing if another user is authenticated? Ehm... no. Well, there is the OpList with operators nicks in it, and then you could try to log in as someone to see if they had a pass...

We had working answers for all of this stuff in the old threads. I can't remember any of them, though, so I guess we're starting over.

By the by, I created this topic in "Protocol alley" a while ago. Go here to check it out. While a rating system is an interesting idea, it's a single point of failure.

sarf

I honestly don't believe there will ever be much of a technical solution to this problem. It's a legal/legislative problem, and unless things change there the rest of the picture doesn't have much hope. Freenet and the like solve the problem but only by making tradeoffs that make their systems near...

Hi I was wondering if in the type of search (Software, compressed, audio, etc.) you could put in a cd image only search. If it were "put in" I hope that you understand that only DC++ clients would respond to such a request since the file types are interpreted on each client that is searched, leadin...

Nice seeing your name float around in the forums again, even if it is with a flame-teasing post... but then again, you had a penchant for those even on "ye old forums". ;) This again?

I've personally never experienced this (at least to my knowledge).

Alright. Clearing up the message a bit. tss ! no ! - on most [German] hubs when you change the share (after [grabbing?]) [you're disconnected].

sarf

was only wondering if there was a way to find out who they were To answer your question in one sentence: No, there is no way to find out who downloads from whom. One thing that would be useful would be for the clients to report to whom they had uploaded a certain amount of data. This way you could ...

sarf

how hard would it be to put pDC++ oDC++ and BCDC++ all together? Very hard, in my opinion, as they are all developed by different people with differing ideas on what they want to "deliver" to their users. Well, oDC++ and DC++ does not differ very much any more. pDC++ has some new nifty features (se...

sarf

also i was wondering if there was any way to view how many slots a selected user was downloading from? its possible to view the uploads, so i dont see why it wouldnt be possible to view the downloads? Because arnetheduck considered that information... irrelevant to have announced. I mean, who reall...

Alright. I'll take this at face value. Snigger if you will. Still doesn't work.

Just to clear up any possible confusion, let's not call it "first come first serve" but rather "right place at the right time", since the former suggests a FIFO queue system. As far as I know, there isn't a client out there that has queues like that was mentioned, it's more of a specification of DC...

sarf

Not that I understand what you are exactly after, but you do know about the "unfinished" and the "finished" directories in the newer DC++ versions, right? The files are stored in the "unfinished" directory while they are downloaded, then moved to the "finished" directory (and if you download an albu...

There used to be the ability to highlight every hub in the public hub listing and join all of them at the click of a button.

In dc++ you can see the up/down ratio in the about box is there a way to read that, so that I can see which users the leech users are. No, there is not. Since there currently exists no secure way to authenticate that information, it can't be used. It's based on two values in the settings file, for ...

sarf

Well to the user who wants to download from me obviously. This way obviously we lose a few percent on download even if the download wouldn't saturate the upload limit but with the ratios of up/down capacities being what they are I don't see a major hurdle in that really. Ummm... you mean that we sh...

Well would it AT LEAST be possible to show any kind of indicator on where you sit.. I'm just asking for a que line of how many people are ahead but queing this isn't even in program. It would be nice though! The reason there is no queue indication is because there is no queue - NM DC and DC++ follo...
