Download Folder Excluded in Share

Post by jbyrd » 2003-08-11 12:33

A topic in the help/support section inspired this request.

It would be nice to be able to have a checkbox "Do not share DC++ Downloads folder" on the sharing tab in settings.

1. It's not a good idea to share incomplete downloads (it will get you kicked).

2. It's not a good idea to share unverified (by user) completed downloads (compounds the number of bogus files out there).

3. It would be nice to be able to share my entire E: drive at once (which would require me to enter only ONE shared directory). But if I want to NOT share the downloads folder, then I have to individually add all the directories that are contained in E: (if I have 15 directories in E: [including the download folder], then I would have to individually add 14 folders to the share list).

4. It would be nice to enable this by default so everyone isn't sharing unverified information and incomplete downloads.

5. It could be expanded to include other folders like \windows and \program files.

Thx.
Hehe.
