Hi dudes!
is there any possibilities to add some kind of a search queue to the DC++, and a timelimit to it, like 5 or 10 seconds, then all the searches go to a queue there and wait for the specified time to pass before launching a search window. that way i can feel sure that i don't irritate any HUB owner by doing a lot of searches way too often. That would be pretty cool

All in all, yes.. this is a good idea!cyberal wrote:Regarding the matter of these 10/5 seconds search timeouts. I undestand the hubowners need it, search strings represent a large amount of the total bandwidth used. I would like a feature that make this thingy less irritating clientside, an own search timeout.. it would work like this.
* I set my client search timeout to 10 seconds.
* I do a search which immediatly triggers my search timer, counting down from 10.
* After 6 seconds i do another search, which isn't sent until my timer is on 0.
This will have this effect:
1. The hub don't have to recieve and handle abusive searches.
2. The hub don't have to answer all the abusive searches with "Ignored, 10 second timeout".
3. I don't have to wait for my search results to come up, not yet knowing it have been ignored.
4. I don't have to research again only to find that I once again was to fast and my second search have been ignored also!!
so.. watcha think?

I think a queue system for the search is way to much! Not needed, all I want (and I speak only for myself) is to move the search timeout from the hub to me for all the reasons above... no need to do multiple manual searches at once..

True, it's not needed to do a lot of manual searches at once, but every now and then you happen to do a typo and realise that too late, and that's when most of the multiple manual searches happencyberal wrote:I think a queue system for the search is way to much!

yes, but in that case one timeout counter is enough (like mentioned above). An simple timeout counter shouldn't be that hard to implement, but if the search must be able to handle multiple searches in a queue, it becomes comlicated..
