    Sigh since no one seems to understand the forced upgrade im going to let the dc developer blog do the talking.

    What the update is stopping http://dcpp.wordpress.com/2007/05/22/denyi...ibuted-attacks/

    How its doing it http://dcpp.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/dc-ctm-proof/

    So enough about the forced upgrade, no matter what modern client you use it will have the SAME updated feature.

    Also from the DC homepage

    Summary: DC++: 0.750 is out

    This is a project aimed at producing a file sharing client using the ADC protocol. It also supports connecting to the Direct Connect network.

    0.750 marks the moment where the migration to MinGW is mature enough to call DC++ a full MinGW compliant application. This release improves the program functionality and how it works on your system. Major enhancements include : openssl fix for older libraries, fixed major known crashes, updated help, minor GUI features, new interface for settings page, and the REF extension for NMDC and ADC that allow peers attacked by the CTM exploit(willingly or unwillingly) to find out the corrupted hub that is used for attacking.

    Have fun using DC++ !

    I have stayed civil during this. Crise is going to do what he feels is right regardless of user personal feelings.

    Not all people have the "slots" in their router configuration to forward an additional port.

    Forcing people to upgrade, no matter what exploits were abusing in a previous version isn't not cool. People need to be able to make a choice about such things. Not even Microsoft forces you to update or upgrade.

    Specifically about your reply:

    There's no need to call anyone stupid (like you pretty much did). I tried to make it obvious that I wasn't meaning to offend or attack you. I've reread Lee's post and all it said was that you were going to eventually force the upgrade. Reconsidering the idea never came into play.

    Of course the upgrade is necessary regardless of personal feelings regarding older versions, said exploit was being use to ddos the hublists on dc so users couldnt find other hubs therefore bottlenecking users trying to learn dc.

    Microsoft also more or less forces an upgrade as well, Its called ending support for a older product. Any time you turn your xbox on to play a game while hooked into xboxlive it forces you to update or you cant play the game.

    ALL DC creators should force the upgrade to clients with the REF extension as well.

    Anyone got a major idea instead of small stuff like smiles languages etc more in terms of a challenge that Crise will get a kick off since my major idea might not get done i might as well talk about it.

    My idea came from a discussion with Crise about about libs and he explained to me that there was a a torrent lib that basically was something simple my initial idea was to make a plugin based on that lib and have dl and uploads hooked in to the dc dl and upload windows along so the client had torrent support :thumbsup: imho a fun project that ppl actually could use all in one project not sure if everyone would a agree with me but thats the beauty of it its a plugin if ppl don't like don't use it :blink:

    now ppl start thinking large :whistling:

    1 more port and from the bittorent technique it isn't even necessary to open up ports but its just an IDEA not reality so i guess you only read my post partly

    Nah dude, I read all of it. I just meant to say with users who cannot even forward ports, whats the chance that the support forum wouldnt get flooded with the same similar questions. Another issue would be for those whose ISP's throttle bittorrent traffic. I understand its an IDEA, Im just trying to get some issues out of the way at the IDEA stage.

    If your running an ip filtering program such as peerguardian check to see if the hublist server is being filtered as a bad ip.

    to get the ip you are going to open the command prompt and type nslookup [hublist name here] and hit enter

    your going to take that IP and see if it is in your blocklist logs. if it is right click on it and choose allow permanently.

    That makes some sense, there are a few hubs that simply don't allow any mod clients, and we are considered a mod i suppose.....silly purist!

    My point was that it was added to the ORIGINAL DC++ client source code, it has nothing to do with apexdc code...

    So in turn whats in DC++ is IN ApexDC++.

    Please do take care about the "Someone is trying to use your client to spam ...", it's really annoying sometimes.

    Little info regarding that http://dcpp.wordpress.com/2007/05/22/denyi...tacks/#comments

    Also checking the DC++ changelog we find the following: 0.709 -  * Disallow fake connections to a few known hub list servers (poy)

    0.692 - * Added warning when someone tries to spam hublist.org or dcpp.net with your client   ;)

    So removal would not be an option  :lol:

    Also i block slow users because i think a fast connection is not so expensive in any country.

    I cant see some one is downloading a 800MB movie from me with a 56k dialup connection

    and another user is waiting for a simple mp3 download.

    i block slow users and i think i'm right.

    No, the truth is you are very wrong. Learn to traffic shape to save bandwidth.

    Look guys the problem is that i can't give others more than one slot.

    because i'm using a 256k adsl connection and when some user downloads from me

    my speed becomes near zero and others can't download. w32.gif

    Interesting you have what is considered a "slow" connection yet you state that it is inexpensive in any country for a fast connection. AGAIN you are wrong in any country it can cost a great deal for what is considered "fast".

    So with that being said, Im with toast and BM on this one. Leave dc and never come back.

    has your internal ip changed at all? That could cause the problem as in the past it did for me. Do a netstat and paste the results here, should help determine your problem, also what software firewall are you using?
