Caching of the public hub list

Post by dazdaz » 2003-01-06 11:17

I can't see any reference to the caching of the "public hub list", as it takes some time to get going, can it cache it for x amount of time which can be tuned under settings?

Thanks

Having given this some more thought, I can *significantly* improve upon this idea and it's so simple.

Once the public hub list has been cached, and the timeout has kicked in, it can download the latest public hub list in the background.

I like to think this would mean immediate connectivity!

Thanks

I dont get what you are talking about. DC++ keeps the hublist until you press refresh, whats this caching youre talking about?

Upon restarting DC++, it takes 60 seconds on 2 PC's to re-download the "public hublist". Then you can hop scotcg hubs as you wish.

Ah. Yeah, saving the list at shutdown could be useful.

Not at shutdown, as soon as it's downloaded, then the timeout will force a background download for when the application is relaunched and perhaps update the hublist whilst in use.
