port hash database generator

Post by edgjerp » 2006-02-05 04:52

I am trying to use dc++ through wine under linux with wine, because one hub I'd like to enter will not accept my current client. My problem is that hashing over 100GiB of data in wine takes insanely long time, and often freezes, so that I have to kill the process. is it possible to "extract" the parts of dc++ that generate the hash database, and create a script or program that does not require windoze to run. if there are utilities out there already, I'd like to know.

Try hashing it in 5 gig chunks. :) When it's hashed a bit. close & open, hash a bit more. :)

Before you try that, put a low number in the Max Hash Speed of Advanced / Experts only, and see if that helps. :)

There are not, as far as I know.

Nearly anything is possible. Try it and see what you come up with.

Or try linuxdc++ (linuxdcpp.berlios.de). It's a GTK+ GUI on top of the DC++ client.
Thanks to all open source programmers!
They enable the rest of us to learn a lot!

Contributing to the linux section:

1) I tried linuxdcpp like in May. Chat/PM/download worked fine.

2) Instead of Wine, you should try QEmu with KQEmu, since you can run Win2000/XP (and many more OSes) within the emulation layer it creates.
