Add total sharing when searching for hubs. ex name bla bla description bla bla Users bla bla adress bla bla (New feature) TB bla bla
Also add that when searching for files, folders size is shown instead of having to download a folder and guesing the size.
If this forum is the right one to write these ideas please somebody confirm, if not also confirm. Dc++ user - [BBB]NeoMtx

Why does it matter how much they're sharing? If they've got the file(s) you need and have an open slot thats all that matters.

XML File lists. Heh. :)

At the moment it's

Code: Select all

<Directory Name="stuff">
I don't think it'll be too long before it becomes

Code: Select all

<Directory Name="stuff" size="1234567890">
The world is coming to an end. Please log off.

It does matter because the more TB sharing the better results and chance of people having what u want. The most important in hubs is TB sharing and speed (connection). Anybody agrees or disagrees, feel free to reply.
Then about the files and slots, how should I know where for example Scary Movie 3-good quality is? I can't filter public hubs right? The same for slots.
Then again, is this the place to write these ideas or am I just debating with people like me, who temporary can't change dc++ in any way (no offense). Please reply and confirm AND tell me to who I should write this to. -[BBB]NeoMtx

Not always. Showing the full share size of the person or of all the hubs is not essential or really even relivant to searching for file(s) that you want. Yes its likey someone with a 500GB share will have the file you want instead of a 5GB share, but I still don't see how showing their size will make a lick of difference when performing a search.

huh? Thats what the search is for... to find files across all hubs that you're connected to.

This is one of the places to talk about new/wanted features. I am not a programmer, but several of them do read this forum and incorperate good ideas.

DC++ doesn't have control over which columns are included in the public hub lists. Gadget's XML hublist may have this column, but I'm not sure it does.

This is the feature tracker:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_ ... tid=427635
(A link to it is on "File > Request a Feature" in DC++)
If you submit duplicate requests, I will close them, so please search first.
