Hello,

I have known about this bug for a while and i want to get rid of it, since it is using up my slots...

Here is an example:


my suggestion is that only a single slot can be occupied by each connecting IP

being able to connect to the user is ok while he is downloading from me (like in that screenshot), but he is using 2 slots from me which is silly

Please vote and explain your support (or lack of it)

Thanks,
Aztek

p.s: pleeeeeeeeease stop the client from sending SR's to stuff im dling and recently dled AND NOT SHARING (if saveto location is NOT shared, do not return SR's for it !)

This is the whole point in a multi source client. I believe what your asking for is to remove segmented downloading and multi sourcing. I don't believe this would be a good idea but you can take it up with the developers. I really don't see this getting fulfilled though.

PS Limiting connections from same IP already disciussed : http://forums.apexdc...?showtopic=1011
I'm still voting for "yes".

[Aztek]

well atleast add this as an OPTION !


about the p.s: if i dont share stuff i download, then i dont want people to be able to download it from me, its fiiiine if i am sharing it, other vice no

atm, there is a user downloading files from me that i dont share, to stop him i need to close the connection and rename the file... veeery annoying...

Turn off segmented downloading, and it'll be gone

just disable segmented downloading and you will get what you want ;-)

EDIT: Kulmegil was faster ))

[Aztek]

no i like to be able to seg dl, but not seg upl

all i want is my client to stop sending SR's for stuff i dont share !

[Crise]

There is an option to avoid partial sharing already (disable segmented downloading) as mentioned by Big Muscle and Kulmegil... and that's the way it's going to stay, sorry.

[Kulmegil]

Still max upload slots per IP is wroth considering - probably even in ADC world where users are identified by unique CID (bad clients will give different CIDs on each hub to suck out more slots from You).

Exclude favorite users and "free" stuff (filelists, TTHL's, small files) from limit. And it's quite simple to implement.

then you are a leecher and you shouldn't be on DC at all.

[Seeker]

Voted NO mainly because im only on private hubs, and i find it usefull. If majority votes YES and if its proven to be better on public hubs, im all for it.

might be, i am an operator in all hubs i am in, and i don't share as a op

thats one of the reason i want people not to be able to download from me

[Kulmegil]

Did You enabled hideshare option (in addition to not sharing anything)?

PS   I really, really don't get how could people ever vote NO for adding this optional limit. Makes me wonder if they really know what was the question. Since benefits are obvious (to me at least) ... maybe someone can show me at least one argument against it?

[Crise]

Simple there are network setups where many people may share only a single or a few real IP's...

[Seeker]

Yeah thats it, i have 5 computers, each have same IP. Luckily im the only one using DC atm, but what if someone else would.

[Aztek]

the limit would be OPTIONAL, not default on or something like that just a tick in advanced or some "Only allow each IP to occupy one upload port" and add a tooltip "Warning: Enabling this might prevent multiple legitimate users from the same IP from downloading from you"

and grant extra slot might allow users to bypass that limit...

in the dl bar area just say "This IP is blocked because it is already downloading from this user" then the user can request a slot and viola

sounds simple enough...

So what's the real chance that few people using single IP will want to download from You at a time (unless You share over 10TB or something). Even IF all this changes that second user will have to wait a bit. World is moving into direction of giving each user unique IP (at least when IPv6 will kick in). Besides it's upto sharer to decide...

Simply Put:   Use DC++ if your in private hubs and don't want multiple anything. But if you want to multiple download but not let peeps multiple upload then I am with Big Muscle your leaching and shouldn't be on DC anyhow

If you're an OP and you don't share (don't see the point in that though, it only raises hub's share size...), but you download... then sorry, but you're a leecher. Being OP doesn't (shouldn't) exclude you from sharing, DC is not a download program, it's a filesharing program.

Okay, As a non techie, I'm probably missing something here.
Surely the thing to do is set downloads up to go into a folder you're not sharing.
