dc++ 0.401 users
It seems to me that since dc++ versions 0.68x and newer are unable to download from version 0.401, more and more people are downgrading to that version to avoid uploads. I propose that in the next version of dc++ you make it so that it refuses connection attempts from users using version 0.401. It is only fair that they should not be able to download from the new versions since the new versions cant download from them, especially when people speculate in it and downgrade for the sole purpose of avoiding uploads.
Cheers

Sidenote: you can download from 0.401 users, you just can't get their file list.
Why work around a bug in an old client, specifically when it doesn't support the feature that you want to promote (TTHL)?

the problem is that most hubs won't block 0.401 untill the normal users stop using dcdm, i will try to force people to use another client, but not to the cost of losing lots and lots of users...
