  1. And what BM thinks of it? Maybe he will add it, if smo let him know...

    dunno what he thinks but remember that there is always the possibility that it's not even possible...

    (when this was discussed earlier i only looked if it was possible to do it at present, never cared to take more in debth look into it as i think it's not important)


  2. Why won't you create your programs (PeerWeb or ApexDC) on base DC++ ?

    I mean the open project which is still being updated.

    just to clarify sdc is both open (because as long as it's complying with gpl, it's open) and updated, the time between releases is just longer ;)

    and why we don't base on plain DC++ is simply because, it's just too lightweight.


  3. Just wondering if ApexDC++ dev team has enough "power" to finish task in reasonable amount of time... maybe it would be good to one person specially for creating of OPs version (if there is such volunteer available).

    we hope thatwe do :)

    and also about what to base the op-version in the best choice is SDC, because it's core is/will be upto date when RC11 is out (if it ever is). or is there any op-clients that are based on 0.647 or newer DC++? (i don't come up with any, expect zion++ might be, but not sure about it either)


  4. LDC++ is out of the question. We need to contact SkyNet and get him to post on what hes comortable with using.

    I posted iDC++ i(as of italian)DC++ :) and yep contacting skynet would be good idea :)


  5. Deadmeat? DCDM++ is based on 0.401 code. The problem is newer DC++ versions will not allow you to grab their filelist and download off them. This is how the dev's are forcing you to update. DCDM++ is still being worked on, they're in 'buggy betas' stage. :)

    in that case none comes to mind, or does idc have lua (or is it even an op client) too long since i last looked :)


  6. You need to emulate in your favourite hub so they cannot see you uging the bandwidth limit feature (properties > emulate DC++).

    Lee, the L:x in tag is always visible, regardless of emulation.


  7. is it back under the same name or still as the police bay?

    It was police bay when i last looked, but now they have database problems:

    We're experiencing some issues with the database. Please try again soon.

  8. DC++ incompatible? Then how come DC++ works fine and PWDC++ (which is based on DC++) doesn't ? At least make the modification optional, please.

    Find the differences :) :

    remember that pwdc's core is older and it has modifications that are not in DC++ (most from SDC, when it comes to chat procsessing)


  9. This is not really a quote, but definetly worth to read:

    Many of you young persons out there are seriously thinking about going to college. (That is, of course, a lie. The only things you young persons think seriously about are loud music and sex. Trust me: these are closely related to college.) College is basically a bunch of rooms where you sit for roughly two thousand hours and try to memorize things. The two thousand hours are spread out over four years; you spend the rest of the time sleeping and trying to get dates.

    Basically, you learn two kinds of things in college:

    1. Things you will need to know in later life (two hours). These include how to make collect telephone calls and get beer and crepe-paper stains out of your pajamas.

    2. Things you will not need to know in later life (1,998 hours). These are the things you learn in classes whose names end in -ology, -osophy, -istry, -ics, and so on. The idea is, you memorize these things, then write them down in little exam books, then forget them. If you fail to forget them, you become a professor and have to stay in college for the rest of your life.

    It's very difficult to forget everything. For example, when I was in college, I had to memorize -- don't ask me why -- the names of three metaphysical poets other than John Donne. I have managed to forget one of them, but I still remember that the other two were named Vaughan and Crashaw. Sometimes, when I'm trying to remember something important like whether my wife told me to get tuna packed in oil or tuna packed in water, Vaughan and Crashaw just pop up in my mind, right there in the supermarket. It's a terrible waste of brain cells.

    After you've been in college for a year or so, you're supposed to choose a major, which is the subject you intend to memorize and forget the most things about. Here is a very important piece of advice: be sure to choose a major that does not involve Known Facts and Right Answers.

    This means you must not major in mathematics, physics, biology, or chemistry, because these subjects involve actual facts. If, for example, you major in mathematics, you're going to wander into class one day and the professor will say: "Define the cosine integer of the quadrant of a rhomboid binary axis, and extrapolate your result to five significant vertices." If you don't come up with exactly the answer the professor has in mind, you fail. The same is true of chemistry: if you write in your exam book that carbon and hydrogen combine to form oak, your professor will flunk you. He wants you to come up with the same answer he and all the other chemists have agreed on. Scientists are extremely snotty about this.

    So you should major in subjects like English, philosophy, psychology, and sociology -- subjects in which nobody really understands what anybody else is talking about, and which involve virtually no actual facts. I attended classes in all these subjects, so I'll give you a quick overview of each:

    ENGLISH: This involves writing papers about long books you have read little snippets of just before class. Here is a tip on how to get good grades on your English papers: Never say anything about a book that anybody with any common sense would say. For example, suppose you are studying Moby Dick. Anybody with any common sense would say that Moby Dick is a big white whale, since the characters in the book refer to it as a big white whale roughly eleven thousand times. So in your paper, you say Moby Dick is actually the Republic of Ireland. Your professor, who is sick to death of reading papers and never liked Moby Dick anyway, will think you are enormously creative. If you can regularly come up with lunatic interpretations of simple stories, you should major in English.

    PHILOSOPHY: Basically, this involves sitting in a room and deciding there is no such thing as reality and then going to lunch. You should major in philosophy if you plan to take a lot of drugs.

    PSYCHOLOGY: This involves talking about rats and dreams. Psychologists are obsessed with rats and dreams. I once spent an entire semester training a rat to punch little buttons in a certain sequence, then training my roommate to do the same thing. The rat learned much faster. My roommate is now a doctor. If you like rats or dreams, and above all if you dream about rats, you should major in psychology.

    SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code. If you plan to major in sociology, you'll have to learn to do the same thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they fall down. You should write: "Methodological observation of the sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that a casual relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory, or "crying," behavior forms." If you can keep this up for fifty or sixty pages, you will get a large government grant.

    incase someone didn't alredy guess this isn't my writing :)


  10. Is it possible to reuse the IE (as it is available in every Win32 system) functions for changing the encoding in chat messages ?

    (yup, my old request for 9x compability :) )

    I don't know if it's possible to use IE in that way, but i doubt it... and as said before, DC++ is "too incombatible " with 9x versions :o


  11. Simple example: to open the "New topic" page and write this, it took about 2 minutes instead of the usual few seconds. I currently have PWDC running, taking out all the awailable bandwidth for itself.

    I tried the "Transfer Rate limiting" option, and got banned from few hubs for using it.

    Also, sometimes the uploading/downloading cause disconnection from hubs because there's no free bandwidth left for simple hub-client communication.

    this is my current uptime, [20:23] * Crise uptime: 1 week 23 hours 49 min and during this week i've never expirienced anything similiar to what you described in your post, could you please provide info, such as what kind of setup you have, what ports do you use, how many ul's and dl's you got ongoing when that happened etc...


  12. Hi,

    Is there a manual? I can't find a link to download one. Would also appreciate access to a Wiki or any similar information source.

    Failing that, could someone tell me what a few buttons actually do?

    "Check File List" - Right click someones name, select this and it downloads their file list. Then what does it do?

    "Fake Detector" - How does that work ?

    Cheers in advance,

    Cavey

    those are both related to clients op functionalities, so if you are not actual op you don't need them. They are used to check for share fakers etc. or identifying what client user is using :)
