well, you are all probably familiar with the $Getinfo command.
don't know what all the other hub developers are doing, but the SBHub doesn't use the getinfo command anymore. (what i do is send the $Myinfo of every user to a new user when he logs in, and i send his $myinfo to everyone else and it works )
My proposal is, that we get ride of the Getinfo command alltogether since it uses unneccessary bandwidth. What i think we should do, is introduce a new command, that is send to the client in response to $Getnicklist (with the list of course). Once the client gets this, he won't send any $Getinfo commands to the hub, which should save some wasted bandwidth.
What do you think?
$Getinfo

well yeah, but it would probably make it nice for hub owners who don't have at least .5 mbit download (believe it or not, there are 56k hubs out there =P) and it would also save proccessor usage (since most people run their hub on an older comp...)

Well Shadows Direct Connect (client as well as a hub) supports QuickList (hence the reason for my complaint on the QuickList EXTENDEDPROTOCOL thingy)
I'll be releasing it this weekend probably....but then again - it doesn't download, upload, etc...though for now it's the VB editions only (still learning C++/MFC)
