DC++

*I, *know, *I'm, *would, *see, *you, *multiple, *be. (Ignoring grammar errors.) That annoyed the hell out of me. The sad thing is that these people are normally from the UK :( Oh well, it serves to not make any minor grammatical error that I might make not seem like such a big deal, and makes me lo...

So if you have a user who shares 5GB in one place, and a 100 in the other, you'd be puzzled as to why he never had a slot in the 5gb place?

Gotta say I do have a feeling that multi source would be for the worse if it was implemented into the main client and everyone started using it. Look at Kazaa, WinMX, eMule, all take ages/are impossible to get anything done. It makes logical sense too, if one file takes 10 users and 10 slots up, rat...

What if you don't have any uploads? Newbs would simply have ?? as their upload speed. It's not that important, the goal would be increasing the percentage of accuracy, 100% seems to be impossible no matter what is done. What if they upload to another client on their LAN? Should the 10/100/1000 Mib ...

How about a system similar to soulseeks but instead the client itself would calculate the average speed of every file over 3MB downloaded, then automatically generate your connection speed by putting you in bands that rise in 64K increments. For example if the average speed of two files uploaded was...

You switch to a client that is based on DC++? I didn't say there was anything wrong with the client on a fundamental level, you might well have a point if I was attacking the client on the scale Ruri_Ruri or whoever it was who used to spam those messages in hubs saying DC++ should be superseded wit...

100 MiB/s is soon outdated probably, since LAN's are 1Gbit by default these days. The fact that "100 MiB/s" will be obsolete for 0.00001% of home broadband users soon hardly constitutes a reason for ignoring the majority of users. Forget it, *switches to fulDC*. You guys have completely lost the pl...

in 0.68. There is no 0.8 or 0.75. A) these connections are very common, and B) There is a fundamental difference between having the adorementioned connection and a 1 or 0.5 connection which are the closest alternatives. Nice feature BTW. Even though I suppose it'll be inaccurate since so many people...

I made this same point on the LUA language board, the DC++ coders can hear it too! The original client with throttling had that as its only change (Alyandon). It lost out to the more featured alternatives. That's software evolution in practice, as far as I'm concerned. Lost out how? Are you simply ...

Big Muscle wrote:or just made only download limiter. Why everyone wants to limit his upload ? They can download and browse web when download speed is limited

Because some people barely download and instead upload constantly.

ok You realize there are DC++ based clients that offer this feature? I suggest you use one of them. In theory there are alternatives but in practise there's little to no decent options. BCDC crashes when you join larger hubs (my girlfriend on an entirely different set up experiences the same proble...

Yeah, I transfer about 4GB upload a month just with my file list. how will it work?

I couldn't agree more.

There's probably a more relevant thread for this, infact i saw one maybe 6 months ago, but i don't fancy my chances in finding it again. so i'll post it here. An idea for dealing with those who you consider to have a slow connection, or you don't want to download off them for whatever reason, is to ...

can't say i've ever downloaded a fake file off DC++

I agree, i think no 1 is a good idea. not sure if we're the only two who do though

how is rar-sharing so flawed?

i concur with bolamix, instead of taking what is said into context, each sentence is instead dissected on it's own. very juvenile. as an example no i don't expect sympathy... why would i? the MAJORITY of hubs are run on such home connections. where the hub can take about 200-400 users. of course you...

apparentely wanting to keep out clients with bandwidth limiting/tag faking/other faking abilities in a hub with an average dsl connection is the owner abusing it's users. if you didn't get it, a hub isn't like kazaa where 4 million users are logged on and a large percentage aren't even sharing anyth...

Obviously, we want everyone to drive the first kind of car, because we don't drive drunk, and we certainly don't want anyone else to. Unfortunately, there is no way to force anyone to drive that kind of a car. Oh we can try to stop them from driving if we see them trying to get into the car, but we...

i mean dismissive in the fact that this problem wont even be addressed or discussed, my idea was just an example. i thought the coders could think of something a little more innovative, considering what some of them have done for dc++ already. every time i read the title for this thread i want to ch...

sounds good to me

Some very good points, understand them all. Perhaps this suggestion has been looked upon in the wrong way, which is partly my fault since i used the word 'unhackable'. We've established that we may never reach 100% as it is at the moment, therefore isn't it best to get that percentage as high as pos...

reg.hublist.org is a good start

and tick the 'AutoRegister'. sit and wait patiently for a few days

oh, never mind, it's just come back up.

this is a hubsoft issue, not to do with dc++. however, you might wanna wait till the hublist is back up before you decide there is a real problem. what hubsoft are you using? what reg address(es) are you using?

well it's limitations on the client side , the hubsoft could hardly identify individual users at the moment. DC Stealth is obsolete and detectable via dcdm. this is not an issue of hacked clients, rather persistant bad users using legitimate clients. but i guess it doesn't matter, as one could rathe...

i've been thinking recentely how pathetic the current permanent ban system is. nicks are easy to change, a great deal of IPs are dynamic. even a moron can get back into a hub if he's been banned. it's evident something else needs to be done on the client side. if you ban a person, you ban them for a...

"I've seen a suggestion or two for turning off auto-search for some folders. That's how it might get coded eventually" well that way still would be completely irritating. if you add one individual file to your queue, that has 100s of sources, soon enough you get your queue automatically matched by t...

Firstly, i apoligise if this has been asked before, had a quick look through using the search but didn't find anything similar. ok, i personally think the 'automatically search for alternative download locations' is a little irritating for a number of reasons. sometimes it can be helpful, others not...
