    ut2dc

    About:

    This is a uTorrent announce bot, written in C++. When a torrent finishes on the uTorrent WebUI, it tells everyone in main chat.

    My flat uses an NMDC hub for chat and lan-only filesharing, but bandwidth limits mean we use a communal scheduling torrent server; so it's convenient to have the announces in our chat.

    Download:

    Public release v1: Mediafire

    More recent versions available here

    We understand it's their bandwidth and their choice to use DHT, and it's a great idea for internet hubs, but we're honestly doing it for their own good - people expect the campus hub not to use their limited, expensive internet bandwidth, and it hasn't done for the past five years. Making DHT difficult to detect will make DC an unsatisfactory solution for lan-only filesharing like in our situation.

    Simply put, the users don't understand why the hub is suddenly draining their internet bandwidth, despite repeated warning in the MOTD. We're doing this for their protection.

    as i said before if only sulan finished his GUI and published it everything could play in the favor of adch++ since he added all basic functions to the user along with a really good antispam system

    Sometimes making a GUI isn't difficult. The hard part is responding to all the user's needs and requests. Here's a gui i made for adch++, but i since i can't make apexdc connect to an adch++ server for some reason, i can't test or release it yet.

    Would it be feasible to add an option to pop-out the mdi windows? into floating ones?

    Since i started hubbing with the mdi windows not maximised i've realised that would be great, let you chat in more than one hub | pm, and do other things on your computer at the same time.

    WTL at least looks vaguely windows-native. Smartwin has a kind of uncanny feel about it..

    I mocked up the dc interface in vb6, delphi7, and .net winforms, and compared them to both apex and dc 750. It's easy to spot gui inconsistencies when you're looking for them, but i guess it's not really an issue for the casual user. For instance, wxWidget applications to me have always seemed a little out of place.

    out of frustration i reinstalled strongdc and turns out it has the same problem. only, this time i got an exceptioninfo.txt out of it;

    Code: c0000090

Version: 2.22

    a quick google links me to here and here - both forum posts from mid/late 2007. The first link finishes with the following unfortunate lines;

    Similar problem and at me! I already for a long time about it spoke here, but BigMuscle cannot correct it...

    If I delete files HashIndex.xml and HashData.dat - share = 0 that crash StrongDC does not occur! The problem in share means! I tried to index anew the files, but result crash StrongDC repeats.

    So yeah, don't know what to do. I'm going to write my own DC client from scratch now, since i can't for the life of me get Apex to compile in MSVC. : (

    I've the same problem. Sometimes, when i get a file list, ApexDC just closes... exceptioninfo.txt is a blank file. Bug happens in ApexDC 1.10, 1.20B as well as StrongDC 2.21, possibly in older clients as well..

    I originally thought this was caused by NOD32? Someone on the forum was having trouble with that? So i uninstalled it and put norton on instead, but the problem's still there. I'm using the default windows xp firewall with exceptions for ApexDC.

    This wasn't always happening, but i can't pinpoint when it started. But it's really making the entire concept of direct connect hubbing pretty much unusable :thumbsup:

    you turn it on in file > settings > appearance > options > 'use custom list background style', right down the bottom. i think that's it anyways. in response to your other thread, the xml settings are subsets of each other, so the style can be there in the themefile without being applied..

    as for my problem though, it seems apexdc isn't forcing a redraw of the pane when a user parts. selecting an item, or dragging the window off the screen and back again, obviously causes the frame to redraw, fixing the graphics.. but that's silly, i shouldn't have to do that. can anyone reproduce this..? [on xp or otherwise]
