See what is asked for upload

Many times i have had the doubt about how many files or MB are asked by any other user from me; so, i don't know how many time i would be in the hub....additionally, many users don't reply the privates -'cause aren't in front of the PC- and I don't have any way of know it.

This could be a useful feature?

can't be done with the current protocol
the only one who knows what she/he has queued is the downloader.

if you feel strongly about this, please be a little more elaborate about why

I've seen people ask for this before. In at least two cases, it was WinMX users. DC++ and DC let you do less micro-management of uploads. I think this is a good thing, as there's no real reason to exert that level of control. If someone's leeching and breaking rules, have a hub op kick them. (I've seen WinMX users cancel uploads even when you're sharing and have 2+ slots).

See the posts by myself and others for upload queues for more info.

This isn't actually true; I may add more information to the upload queuing portion of BCDC++ to demonstrate this. If DC++ kept trying to download one file, it would still be mostly true, but it hops from file to file, so one can get a pretty good idea of a downloader's queue...

Ah, thanks for he enlightenment, I thought (guessed) that the file picking was fairly deterministic.

Well, you never know what file will be downloaded next, but you can record what the user has already downloaded.

This may be usefull, as I rarely sit in front of my machine monitoring my slots, and wouldn't know a leecher if I saw him.

Some kind of totals for each user in the download section may be a nice additional indicator for something like this.

I was also thinking that a running time (or just the time they connected), file count, and byte count would be nice little pieces of eye candy in the transfer frame...
