Automatic source finding using hashes is nice. But I cant help myself, I always think about how the system can be abused :evil: There is a problem associated with hashing: cheaters would forge their hashes intentionaly to prevent them from being chosen as alternate source and thus they will reduce t...

True In fact if i was allowed to disable my list from being searched i would expect i would be barred from using search also. Thats only fair and i have no problems with that. So what the hell are you doing on public hubs?? People are usually there to share to each other, else it loses point. If yo...

The problem is not the amount of search result itself, but the CPU load such whole network searches may put onto clients.

Maybe I have been a little bit hasty and savage when I dismiss all reasons to limit upload. I can agree finally with most points sarf presented. Some additional comments follow: By the way, how do you detect cheating users, if I may ask? I am very interested in this as some methods can be defeated q...

If the capping parameters are transmitted to the HUB, a script there might detect any major suspicious setting and thus potential misuse (for eample that max UL speed is ridiculously low) These can be simply faked. If they are in standard distribution 99% of people won't bother to hack client or us...

Public/Privte key eles they can log the key and the encrypion is totaly worthles. If we cryptate it we can make secure members only hubs and no one can see whats going on there. And even on puplic hubs it will add to securety. Who ever is looking for what you are sharing cant just tap the connectin...

Hmm, I don't want any program to go through my 130 GB share every 20 minutes :( It sounds like my hdd will be dead soon. And please try to calculate how much time would take rehashing of 100 GB. In kazaa it is quite possible because 90% of users are just leechers who share nothing so they are not im...

Maybe a feature of capping the speed would be also necessary, in spite of any misuse risks. It seems that all kinds of "leecher-friendly" versions and mods are anyway available even ready compiled for the incompetent (but selfish) kiddies to install. Now only few people use modified client because ...

And i see a need to apply some Public/Private Key encryptin to both the Clinet/Hub and Client/Client protocols. Why the hell, do you need Public/Private Key encryption??? At first, such encryption is very resource demanding. So Symmetric key encryption is usually used to transfer great amounts of d...

Optimized Search Algorithm Design by Vladimir 'Yilard' marko What is this about? -------------------------- I consider current file search algorithm implemented to be one of the biggest weaknesses of DC++ (current version 0.22). This document describes replacement/improvement to this algorithm. I ha...

I also experienced another problem. I normally had about 15 users downloading from me at decent speeds, however every now and again a user on the same acedemic network as me connected. The result at this point was one 500-800K/s upload and 14 other slow or stalled ones. This is definitely not fair ...
