Hello

I think the most of us knew this problem... One hub requires e.g. 2 open upload slots and this is configured in the Settings->Sharing. So now you connect to a second hub, which need also 2 open upload slots. Now you must set the upload slots in Settings->Sharing up to 4.
In this case it would be usefull to grant a number of upload slots in at the favorite hub proberties for each hub (if nothing is set, the gloabl value works), which override the global settings.

Example:

Global value in "Settings->Sharing" is set to 2
Favorite HUB-A has a value set to 2
Favorite HUB-B has a value set to 2

If I have connected both hubs the upload slots are automaticlly increased to 4 and every hub gets max. 2 upload slots.

So i hope this is realisable :-)

Thx AcidStew

Seems convenient, but what about the users with slower upload, their speeds will be awful.

[AcidStew]

Thats right but if the default value is emty in every favorite entrie, the global settings will work (e.g 2 slots for all favorite hub entries). So users with slower upload speed, do not configure special upload slots in the favorite entries. Everything works as now...

[Zlobomir]

It will work, but how to ensure that users will not abuse the feature?

[spaljeni]

maybe it would be better to have a speed-per-slot feature.

when I look at my uploads there is always one going 20-30 k/s and the other few are stuck at 1-5 k/s

this would balance thing out a bit.

@spaljeni
This feature has nothing to do with speed. I just want open more open slots, when i connect to some favorite hubs. I try to explain in my case...

Normaly I'm connected to one hub and i have opened 2 upload slots (requested by hub). Sometime I connect to a second hub at the same time, which also requests 2 upload slots. So for all together i need 4 slots for both hub and I must set it in the global configuration. I will garantee, that every hub gets 2 slots and i cant, becaue maybe the first hub takes 3 and the second only 1 and thats a kick-reason. Further i will only have a number if upload slots open as it is requested by the hub. So if I disconnect to the second hub, I must set the upload slots back to 2, because I will only grant what is requested by hub.

@Zlobomir
How should this feautre get abused? Contrariwise it will help to grant every hub the solts which are requested and also it makes the life easier :-)

imo each feature which lets uers to auto-meet the minimum requirements of a hub is a leecher's feature.

[AcidStew]

Well thats maybe true, but in some cases (like me) I get most of the time over a few days no download-slot and my upload-slots are every time taken. This is also a abuse of my upload slots. I give more as I get and thats also a kind of abuse. If i could just grant upload-slots what's requested would be the fairest way for both sides (user and hub).

should I open a new topic for this?

Why not... I think this is also a good feature but there is really a high change for abuse. I'm sure in some cases it could be very useful :-)

@spaljeni - I am not sure whether the protocol allows such speed distribution between slots (at least with a reasonable amount of code).
@AcidStew - Actually isn't the "slot ratio" feature what U are looking for? It is already implemented. Sorry if I look stupid by asking this, at least it is not intentional.

The "slot ratio" share all configured slots to all hubs were are you connected. Its like faire-use and if you be connected to just one hub, this hub will use all configured upload slots. I want to overrule the global-settings for the upload slot for my favorite hubs. I will increase/decrease the upload-slots especially for hubs. I will only open so much slots as i need. If I be connected to 5 hubs, i need more upload-slots as I be connected to just one hub and this setting should help to open the slots automaticlly and first on to grant every hub the minimum requiered upload-slots. This is the fairest method for user and hub.

Hi all!

There are updates avaliable for this topic? Is the feautre accepted? I did not find any signs for it in the release note of the new beta version 1.2.0.

Thanks

Hey, I need this feature too.
In other words, +1 for this.

[RoLex]

I think this is partially done with slot ratio in ApexDC++. If you set slot ratio to 2, it will increase by 2 slots / hub. But not control the slot usage / hub. =)

It's not good, because I need to set my own slot balance for favorite hubs (for example, 10 slots to one hub and 50 to another. Or even something like this - 10 slots for one hub and pool of 50 slots shared to three other hubs...)

Imagine a situation: You have data-limited upload to internet, but unlimited upload to LAN. You could set 2 slots shared to the 2 interneet hubs you are in, and 10 extra slots for the LAN hub. That is what I would do

I can't say it better ;-)

So but i still don't know, if the feature will come...

[AcidStew]

Is this feature now accepted and in the roadmap?
