I think this about covers it...please correct me if I'm wrong.  

Icon Explanation



1/8th megabyte = 1 megabit == 128 kB/s = 1024 kilobits

1.1 Warning Icon - 5 kilobits (0 < 1 kB/s)
1.2 Red - 10 to 100 kilobits (1 - 12 kB/s)
1.3 Yellow - 100 kilobits to 2 megabits (12 - 256 kB/s)

3.1 Admin / OP
3.2 Red Mine - User has uploaded at constant 100kB/s or above
3.3 User is on a LAN
3.4 Question Mark - No connection info

4.1 Green Check - You have communicated with the user. Can appear over any user (exchanged file lists)

Color explanation

How does my Apex node get all this information? Which properties are broadcasted by the hub?

I've connected with Apex v1.0.1 to a hub which has DC tags disabled for my user class and there are immediately users with "mine" and "network drive" status.

Mine: Who is observing the Powerball 100 kB/s status?
Network drive: Does this just mean that the remote user has "Firewall with port forwarding" active? Because I have a public address for my router and can tell for sure that those users are not on my LAN.

• These user icons, who are pale, are users who are in Away Mode;
  
• These user icons, who are without green tick, are users who I've didn't yet downloaded there ( hub users ) sharelists;
  
• These user icons, who are with green tick, are users who I've downloaded/checked there ( hub users ) sharelists;
  
• There are 2 big groups ( 4x26 = 52 user icons ).
  
  Active Mode Bold & Pale without green tick | Active Mode Bold & Pale with green tick | Passive Mode Bold & Pale without green tick | Passive Mode Bold & Pale with green tick;
  
  
• And... that's all. Other are same, look infoguy/dsorc posts.

users who have already connected to you - downloaded from you or anything, have green tick too

I hate these usericons, how about to keep it simple and straight forward= Active or Passive and Away or not, thats all a user needs. I´ve been using DC for many years and those icons are not helping at all thay just confuse users and thay are not accutate. An option for using simple or advanced usericons sould be in place and have simple for defult.
