DC++

A topic in the help/support section inspired this request. It would be nice to be able to have a checkbox "Do not share DC++ Downloads folder" on the sharing tab in settings. 1. It's not a good idea to share incomplete downloads (it will get you kicked). 2. It's not a good idea to share unverified (...

Download to another computer using DC++? Not on the same Lan? It would be so sweet! I would love to download nukes and trojans onto Sam's computer! (Actually, I have nothing against Sam. I am using him as the brunt of a joke here...but he will NOT be visiting this forum; he sticks to the off topic s...

jbyrd

OK. Last post in this dead thread. If only he has time for this. Don't you see? Do you think anybody really "has time for this"? NO. It's obvious that you don't understand why your posts are so offensive. You are virtually declaring yourself more important than those that would actually implement yo...

WHINING != Suggestions. Suggestions: Search in downloaded lists. I've got about 30 filelists and hard to find files there. I know they are, but must open and view all downloaded lists. WHINING: Reading this I suippose my opponents have few of software design experience and even dont' know about of v...

jbyrd

K.I.S.S.

jbyrd

If you have so much software design experience, why don't you go ahead and write up this feature yourself? Cause I'm fulltime busy in commerce as Chief of Department. You have killed all chances of getting your feature implemeted. I won't be surprised if it isn't added to the rejected features trac...

jbyrd

They can get you for anything...

I simply can't remember the last time that I was looking through filelists just browsing through some files...then a few hours/days later I realized that I wanted that file. REMEMBERING that someone from the filelists that I was browsing earlier had that SAME file that I didn't want - but now want -...

jbyrd

Yes.

I don't see my name down there. I don't see anybodies for that matter.

As a matter of fact, I should have been on that list because I was logged on at the time you wrote that post!

You should click and drag on each side of each separator. Time is there...if you're truly using the newest version. Percent...I believe it's in your queue. I guess we'll have to wait to see if someone would be willing to write a patch for it. I agree. It would be very useful. I know it has been disc...

Why doesn't anyone show up on the registered users list at the bottom of the forum screen? (click back twice).

It would be nice to know who else is here. It does state when someone is browsing a certain forum. ????

Does being a registered user mean that you can log in?

jbyrd

I think the problem is that you don't know what you're talking about. You don't know how to use dc++ efficiently. If you want to find a particular file, use the search. If you want to browse around and download files that you didn't know you wanted, use filelists. This will not give me all owners, b...

jbyrd

I think you meant "sweet"

jbyrd

Searching from filelists have benefits. Personally, I used to save filelists of those people that have a great connection with me. So, if I am looking for a file it may be useful to search those users first. Now, I use the favorite user feature. Disadvantages of filelists: 1. Many times the filelist...

jbyrd

LOL. Thanks for your input.

I figured that since I read all three pages of this thread, I would give everyone my two cents (OK, maybe just one cent). It's kind of an award.

jbyrd

I think he means he would like to know exactly which file was a hit in the search.

jbyrd

Solution: Rename the private file to "Windows ME". You won't have to worry about anyone downloading it, cuz it's CRAP!

jbyrd

then why private message mode included? Because sometimes you want to ask someone a question, like "Hey, would you open a slot for me?" or "Do you know why I keep losing slots?" Not, "Excuse me, but do you happen to have some animal porn that is not currently in your shared folder that you wouldn't...

jbyrd

Yeah. Thanks guys. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until my next drive goes bad to try this. I already sent it off. Look at these Packaging Requirements and the Acceptable Packaging . Simply unbelievable! It's broken! Hell, they will probably send it to me in a freaking Wal-Mart bag wrapped in some...

jbyrd

You're right...they don't support resuming. So what? The original post wanted to send "small files". No need for resuming. Get this out of your heads, people. This client is NOT ICQ. This client is DC++. It is not for private file transfers. If you want to share something, make it available to every...

jbyrd

BEAUTIFUL!

But, there is just one problem. Code.

jbyrd

I am actually read the whole 3 pages of this thread, and the feature suggested is retarded. Not that hardist is a 'tard, but the idea of giving a hub sole possession of a slot is obsurd.

jbyrd

Sounds to me like you need ICQ.

-You don't have to convince me that the feature request is useful, because I won't be the one making the patch. I just want you to have a good argument ready for when a programmer visits the thread. If you are convincing enough, it may be implemented.

Good Luck

jbyrd

Yep.

Code: Select all

-- 0.262 2003-07-31 --
* Incorporated ICQ functionality.
* Removed the unavailable pseudo-speed limiter (thx Mordok)

jbyrd

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the extra slot is only granted until the file is finished. If you downloaded two files on one granted slot, then chances are one of the other slots freed up. I don't see why incorporating ICQ technology into DC would be helpful whatsoever. No need to have a feature with ...

Don't bother. I already didn't write one.

jbyrd

1. If I understand you correctly, you want to send a small file without going through the trouble of granting a slot. Now I'm looking at the Settings in dc++, and I could swear that there used to be an option for automatically openning a slot for files below xxx kb. But, I can't find it. Anyway, tha...

jbyrd

Looks great! So, is it from a hacked client or did you do this yourself? Sources Sources Sources!

jbyrd

Could you disable speedlimiters from the next DC++ ? I don't know of any speed limiters. Anyone else? www.netlimiter.com I think he wanted to get rid of speed limiters that are already incorporated into dc++. Again, I don't know of any speed limiters incorporated in dc++ ...so what exactly will we ...

jbyrd

I don't know of any speed limiters. Anyone else?

Search: "Turtoise Hare" for the file with name: "The Turtoise and the Hare". _WILL_ match, because "Hare" comes AFTER "Toroise", however Search: "Hare Turtoise" will NOT match Using your method, if I type 'Tortoise Hare', then I wouldn't receive results like "The Hare and the Tortoise".

Down Cyberal. Down Boy! Don't mind him. He's an animal (as you can see by his avatar). :) But, seriously. Do a search in the forum. It's located in the top portion of your screen. Also check the features request tracker AND the rejected features tracker . You have to understand, the people that regu...

I don't like popups. Notice is good, but popups stop you from doing anything in the background. I don't want anything beeping at me and asking me questions; then demanding an answer before I can finish what I was doing (typical woman-like behavior). If you're going to do popups, you might as well ha...

Ehh. I don't like that idea. Say I want the Loony Toons cartoon starring Bugs Bunny named "The Tortoise and the Hare". Using your method, if I type 'Tortoise Hare', then I wouldn't receive results like "The Hare and the Tortoise". :) Granted, neither would the other idea. But, I don't see how the su...

Something about this locking hub windows scares me. I guess what I would like to see is something to alert the user that the reason his window won't close is because it's locked. Have any of you used AutoCAD? At the bottom of the screen there is a small dialog area; kind of like at the bottom left o...

jbyrd

Nah. You did fine. I was just kidding.

Unlocked by default is not a foolproof solution. They WILL get inadvertantly locked.

jbyrd

I also like this idea. But...

Are you ready for the noobs in the help forum with posts like...
"I can't close hub window"
"Hub is hacked...won't let me leave"
"Disconnection Problems"

jbyrd

Try moglo . If you want to know if they have a free slot, I guess you'll just have to find them and see. Unless you're downloading something very rare, you should realize that you don't have to find the same exact person to finish downloading the file... search the forum for "search for alternates"....

jbyrd

Dreamland Hublist had this about 3 months ago (if I remember correctly). It would have the total amount shared to the left of the hub description. Sort by description, and you have sorted by size. Note: Just because it says it is big doesn't mean that it is; just like the number of users, the size c...

I know here, in the states, they do not have this mentality. Guess that it's hard to understand that not a single ISP would avoid limiting traffic on certain protocols. Wrong again.. Jbyrd's Broadband Co. is using the same application to do the same thing! That is a HUGE assumption. It seems that th...

jbyrd

Ok. Here's a scenario. I'm an ISP provider. I charge XX.xx a month. Cyberal is my competetor. He charges the same amount of money a month. Cyberal decides that he wants to stop p2p sharing. So, he hires a whole staff to monitor activity. So, when Cyberal is able to sort through all of the porn traff...

jbyrd

Well, they won't complain to anyone. What they will do is go find another ISP that minds their own bussiness.

I'm not saying that they don't peek at our activity... I think encryption is a very good thing. I just don't see what they have to gain.

jbyrd

I don't see what the ISPs have to gain from watching internet activity. Unless some anti-piracy fag is looking over his shoulder, it seems like they would look the other way.

Reason being: It's bad for bussiness.

jbyrd

Water cooling sounds nice. But, I don't overclock; so I don't see a need to spend all that money. I have 3 Antec fans, and they all run with no problem. It was just that one (generic) fan that I bought when I was in a bind. Oh well. I contacted Customer Service, and I have an RMA request waiting to ...

jbyrd

Don't laugh. Yesterday, when I was connecting a new DSL modem to my computer, one of my case fans started making noise. Man, I really hate noise. So, in my haste I opened the case and took it out. Word to the wise, turn your computer off when before you unplug anything. I didn't, and it turns out th...

Oh, you mean this thread.

I love vector graphics so much more than raster ones.

Ah, yes. That's what gives it its appeal.

Sorry, but I should have made it more clear that I did NOT want to use that icon EXACTLY. It was just a start.

jbyrd

Who, me and myself?

So, what do you think? You're going to put this in (if we're lucky) so I need to know where you stand on this, GarMT.

jbyrd

Ok, one more idea: You can kind of do away with the reconnect/IE refresh icon. Instead, use the same type of arrows. Um, think of outlook express. Instead of using an envelope, use a list for the filelist and a plug for reconnect. Here is a good icon for reconnect (without the "refresh" arrows) http...
