Hublist

Why not add/change the standard public hublist in DC++ or even make a dropdown menu with 5 of the biggest/most used hublists?

It's configurable, so DC++ would only use the "new" lists if people haven't changed their hub list setting from the default. Not really a problem, just something to keep in mind.

As far as the "most used" hub lists, we have no way of measuring that.

Part of the problem is that only a few hublists support the XML that DC++ prefers... including old hub lists that don't adapt, although expedient for end-users, is at least somewhat non-optimal from the promoting growth and change in DC point of view.

I recon that finding 5 hublists with more then 500+ hubs reged and with support for xml should not be too big of a problem. I feel it all goes down to what a client is used for by the ppl that make it ;)

OK - here is an idea - all hubowners/OPs add this to u'r usercomands in ur client ( those are the lists i found working 16.11.2006 ):

%[nl] Some hublist u can try.....for older clients use .config.bz2 for newer use .xml.bz2
%[nl]
%[nl] http://dchublist.com/hublist.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://www.freeweb.hu/alagnetwork/hublist.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://hub2list.no-ip.com/PublicHubList.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://awenet.info/hublist/PublicHubList.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://hub2list.no-ip.org/PublicHubList.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://hub2list.redirectme.net/PublicHubList.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://idiota.sytes.net/PublicHublist.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://www.awenet.info/hublist/PublicHubList.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://www.hublist.org/PublicHubList.xml.bz2
%[nl] http://dchublist.com/hublist.config.bz2
%[nl] http://dreamland.gotdns.org/PublicHubList.config.bz2
%[nl] http://www.hublist.org/PublicHubList.config.bz2
%[nl] http://dcinfo.sytes.net/publichublist.config.bz2
%[nl] http://www.hublist.org/PublicHubList.config.bz2
%[nl]

and as for u - DC++ dev. - why not make a forum/netsite addition for hublists for users to copy/paste in the client (if it is too much work adding them to client it self by default)
At the same time adding all info on how and where to add/change the hulists in client.
Btw. tho xml looks/works best in standard DC++, the config version works too in most if not all clients. It does not look as nice but it works ;)

I think we have one. Doesn't this count?
