Auto-add altarnative download source

Post by MrZoidberg » 2003-01-28 05:35

I just had a great idea, atleast I think so ;)

I would like DC++ to check the filelists that I get (by rightclicking on
username and "get filelist") and compare the files to the files in my
queue. If it finds a file with the EXACT filename & filesize it
automatically adds the file as an alternate to the file in my queue.

This feature could also be set to AUTO/ASK/DISABLED (via the
options) for those out there who wants more control over the
files they want to find.

This would save a great deal of time, instead of having to search for
all the alternate locations yourself, file by file.

Pretty Pretty Please with sugar on top, give this some thought :)

.22 doea this for me already.
Two days ago i chose to d/l some popular files to help share them out. (tutorials)
i chose them from one user.
after a few minutes it .22 was attempting to get them for about 10 other users as well and has been doing so ever since.
very nicely i might add
:)
what it doesnt do is multipart d/ls from them which would be nice...

hmmm, I see what you mean now...
(automatically search for alternative download, in options/advanced)

That was not what I was looking for. The problem with that is
that you have to search for tons of individual files.
If they are auto-added to your queue when you get the users
filelist, you will save ALOT of time.

Think of it this way:
1: you right click on a users name and "get filelist" and all 99 files you
are looking for get added to the queue.

2: you search for EACH of the 99 files you want to find and they are
individually added to the queue.

now which way do you think would go faster :)
