Complete share list

BW~Merlin · Post by **BW~Merlin** » 2006-05-08 22:32

Hi, is there anyway to get a complete share list from my hub (Iâ€™m not sure if this is a dc question of a hub question). What I want to know is can I go search for all files on dc (I just want to see what the most popular files are and other random stuff relating to popularity of files).

Thx

You can get everyone's file list, certainly. But that doesn't seem like it'll get you closer to your goal. You'll need a custom program for that. (One to parse the file lists, or to be a DC client and get the file lists itself.)

Any ideas on where to find/look for such a thing?

Isn't this what that ADL search (or the other one, I forget the name) is for?

You can simply write a script that manages this. I have done it myself..
Its a 10 minutes job at the most. I based mine on TTHs.

It do take some memory when you run it on hubs with several 1000 users. If i remember correctly, approximatly 30% of content in hubs are unique upto TTH. But then again, the bias in that estimate is not neglictable.

No, they're for looking for specific content in file lists. This guy wants to find make (from my read) a "top 10 files downloaded" list for his hub.

DC++ cannot do this without significant modification.

ivulfusbar would you mind sharing your script with me as I have no idea at all on how to make a script. GargoyleMT thatâ€™s the gist of what I am looking to do.

Thx

Learn howto instead:

Unpack an xml.bz2 file, browse the content and you will see what you need todo.

Well the Spy Search (which was the one I couldn't remember the name) can give you a list of "Top 10 Most searched files on all the hubs I'm on". Right?

If he wants a list "Top 10 most downloaded files in the hub" I think he'd have to go tweak the hub's DC++ software. If he wants a "Top 10 most common files present in the hub" he'd have to grab everyone's filelists, run some sort of comparison program and find out. Or grab that info via the hub's software, I assume that's doable as well.

I'm not sure which one of these Top 10 he wants, but unless it's the first one I think it's next to impossible to do it. Especially if he doesn't own the hub.

True, but it will most likely be a list of TTH's, since autosearches are done that way. Pretty useless unless he wants to sit and search for all of them afterwards.

The whatnow? Hubs don't use DC++, their users do. File transfers have nothing to do with the hub.

I run the hub so accessing the hub software (ynhub) isnâ€™t a problem neither is grabbing everyone's file list or bandwidth (LAN), I want to find out the most common files on the hub. I have no idea what so ever out writing scripts or modifying things. Any help if it can be given is much appreciated.

Thx

you won't find the top 10 most downloaded though...
you'll find the top 10 most shared

which will contain lots of porn i think (though porn usually is unique per file on DC) ^^

BW~Merlin · Post by **BW~Merlin** » 2006-05-11 03:42

Thats what i wanted to find, the most popular files. I have no idea where this most downloaded part came from. An im sure it wont be porn.

Todi · Post by **Todi** » 2006-05-11 05:12

The most popular file is likely to be an empty file =)

BW~Merlin · Post by **BW~Merlin** » 2006-05-11 05:14

None the less im still interested to see what are the most popular files (it will help in judging what new content to put onto the hub as asking doesnt always get a response).

This might be close to what you're after.

Yet another thing that wants me to start using sql (i think something trying to tell me something). Guess i will have to add this to my ever growing pile of things to do and learn.

SQL is simple and nice.

Well. Making a "top x shared files" would be next to impossible without using a database. It would atleast be stupid not to, since that's the kind of thing they're made for =) SQL is a good choice, and MySQL is a popular and free server.
