Re: multisource downloading feature
Hi guys, my 2 cents about multisource feature in DC++, I think that this features must be available, I vote for it, because if implemented properly - it can help a lot to make a traffic lower, especially when you can control slots/connections on a hub/client. Personally I like a lot how it is imple...

Links besides hub links are planned to use magnet links. Those kinds of links (ones that specify a filename/size/TTH to be added to the download queue mainly) are not even remotely ADC-specific, so it doesn't make sense to have them as adc links. Plus, it's just like http and https.

On a random side note, I am wary of anything that claims it is "awesome" (if that's where you heard it was...). Maddox agrees with me.

Partial File Sharing (PFS) is on the radar, and will probably be looked into once multisource comes along. I don't know about your 15 MB chunk size; the chunk size used will probably be whatever size the block size of the TTH leaves is (2 MB for a 700 MB movie). You can do a search on PFS to find pr...

I think he's missing the point of match queue. The way I read it, you're looking for "Download to..." Match queue downloads the user's filelist and checks the files in his list against those in your download queue to see if he can be added as a source. The idea behind the auto-match queue is that if...

I'd say 8 to 16 megs would be a good starter chunk size. Files smaller than that don't need to be multisourced, since by the time you get more than one slot it'll be done already unless the person has really bad upload. A lot of the problems from multisource come with having to still work with old c...

Well, since DC++ doesn't have any support for sharing incomplete files right now, this wouldn't really work.
