Web interface

It would be great to have the possibility to access at least basic functions via a web interface. I suppose this could be done by adding some kind of API to the DC++ client, and the actual web interface could be written by someone else in php etc.

No, I was not thinking of a new client, but a way of controlling the existing DC++ client over the internet via a web browser. That way I could search for files and start downloads from anywhere, all I would need was internet access and a web browser. I could also let friends with only a dial-up connection use my client for their large downloads.

NOW NOW NOW! I need this *g*

I am student, and with the WEB-Interface i would get the chance to search the files i wanna, and download them at home (controlled by the Web-Interface)!

But there is a Web-Based DC Client *shitlostthename* AX... *sorry dont know anymore* (But this was very ALPHA)

(Sorry 4 my english)
See ya MoRs2k

... why stop at a web interface...

if it was done correctly - you could control it entirely from another machine using something other than a web browser...

basically, each window command (of importance) could be sent to another client...

just an idea...

*ducks*

Good idea... control your PC Anywhere kind of like a Virtual Network Computer.

That would be very cool....

I'm sure there's a subtle message in there somewhere. Give me a minute. I'll find it eventually.
