    I have similar issue with 1.3.8.

    It all began soon after installation.

    I have home server (dedicated computer) with ~3.5 TB share, running on WinXP SP3, 24/7.

    I use ApexDC mostly for sharing files. At "prime time" upload speed can be up to 18 mb/sec, usual load - 5-8 mb/sec.

    What I have noticed:

    1. Sometimes system partially hangs and do not responding to mouse clicking and keys pressing. This state lasts different time. BUT! Process Explorer tray icon (always started) draws usual graph of processor load (not overloaded), router's and HDD's LEDs are on and flashing - this all indicates that system works (well or not - I don't know). After some time system returns to usual behavior.

    2. Sometimes system behave like overloaded - even folders open very long (I don't mention other things, i.e. web-browser or notepad). BUT! Process Explorer does not show any significant load! Usual graphs, usual resourse usage... No any overload.

    3. My server works for my other computers too like usual fileserver throgh standart Windows sharing. It all worked fine for 2 years, but now when ApexDC started I can't download anything to my workstation computer - speed is < 0.5 mb/sec. Before issue windows sharing worked fine independently of server's load.

    4. No BSOD's or crashing.

    Problem growing day by day.

    What I have tried:

    1. Chkdsk on all partitions (including system) - no errors, no effects.

    2. Disabling Progress Bars - some effect on CPU load (on graphs), but no general effects.

    3. Switching off all logging in ApexDC - two or three days it worked fine, after that all began again.

    4. Enabling speed limiter - upload speed decreases, but very weak effect on system behavior - it was better before.

    5. Decreasing number of upload slots from 25 to 15 - weak effect.

    6. Closing all connections in ApexDC - after that system works fine (other apps can be started, windows network file sharing works fine), but it all begin again when users resume downloading shared files in ApexDC.

    7. Without ApexDC system works fine.

    Plans:

    1. Try to decrease number of slots to 3-5 (it is not the solution, just for experiment).

    2. Try StrongDC.

    1. Possibility to make line break and new line (BR) in Default away message. I use it for default info for all users, but text seems to be very condensed when written in one paragraph.

    2. Freezing (any type) of Finished Uploads window. When sorted by any column contents of the window moves each time any upload finished (cursor jumps and it is hard to look for any particular upload - I forced to stop all uploads first by disconnecting from hubs and closing coonections).

    Bumping this up.

    And new requests:

    1. New option in the "Settings" - > "Upload slots": "Automatically grant extra-slot to users with share more than <define value in gigabytes, 0 = no automatic slots granting>"

    2. New option In the "Settings" - > "Upload slots": "Automatically grant extra-slot to users from whom you are downloading"

    3. New option in Favorite Hub Properties: "Automatically grant extra-slot to users from this hub"

    Also it would probably be seen as negative feature from hub owners side because then the real slot count would not match the available slot count on a hub (which would we report in tag?)

    Can prog report different tags to different hubs? If so, there is no any problems with this.

    No, I don't mean to set slot count differently per each hub! What about making a checkbox named "Unlimited slots for this hub" in a favorite hub properties. "Unlimited" would mean 100 or any such hugh number. This change would be reflected in the tag for the particular hub. Other hubs would use the default settings :)

    Oh, I see now. It would be nice too - it can solve my problems for a while.

    And another two requests:

    1. Possibility to make line break and new line (BR) in Default away message. I use it for default info for all users, but text seems to be very condensed when written in one paragraph.

    2. Freezing (any type) of Finished Uploads window. When sorted by any column contents of the window moves each time any upload finished (cursor jumps and it is hard to look for any particular upload - I forced to stop all uploads first by disconnecting from hubs and closing coonections).

    Please, make "Slots per hub" feature!

    Look at my screenshot.

    d901514b2b9a2955a874792ba1ecfa5c.jpeg

    It's "primetime" situation, in the evening, maximum activity period.

    ISS Hub users (my link to ISS is ADSL, 80-150 kb/s) take all slots and block faster users (Westcall & Multinex-62live - 2 independent Ethernet links) from downloads.

    I set slots to 50, but then ISS users speeds fall to 2-3 kb/sec (as you see on the picture).

    Please, make "Slots per hub" feature!

    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...)

    В новом ApexDC++ 1.2.0beta что-то изменили в сетевом коде и теперь не качаются файлы и файл листы У меня 2 провайдера (интернет соединения) 1. ADSL 2. LAN (VPN) в каждом из них есть локалка, маршруты в XP прописаны. В ADSL соединении требуется указать UDP и TCP порты чтобы всё качалось. В 1.1.0 всё качалось нормально. В 1.2.0 пишет Таймаут соединения (Connection timeout) практически с любыми настройками, пробовал разные варианты что-то одно всегда не работает или работает не стабильно. Вобщем 2 сети не получается настроить чтобы они работали вместе.

    Есть такая беда, англоязычные пользователи тоже жалуются. Пока выработали только одно решение - откат на 1.1.0.

    The ADSL/ethernet is your modem, it can act as a router.........the modem will hand a ip address to what ever is behind it computer/router....whatever, so all you should have to so is have your ports open through the linksys.

    One thing you may check though is, if you are connecting with your ISP via PPoE protocall, you may need to bridge your modem to your router....in most case's that means you need to connect direct to the modem, go into your settings and find the bridge modem function, or give your ISP a call and aske them about it if you don't know.

    good luck

    Sorry, man, can't understand you are talking about.

    I have no problems with ports, routers and modems.

    It's djbellusci started the topic, not I. I just tried to help him.

    And last sentences is completely unclear for me. Why I need to connect modem to router? I have 2 provider connections - one is Ethernet, other is ADSL. I have good enoght router built in modem with port forwarding, static and dynamic routing (useful for provider's LAN) and other cool options including even traffic shaper (that is my modem - http://www.acorp.ru/products/adsl/sprinter...-lan-420m/spec/ (sorry, no english version)).

    And other router (stand-alone, D-Link DIR-100) is also work pretty fine maintaining connection to second provider.

    Are you sure there is no misunderstanding in terminology and router settings?

    I have 2 routers (ADSL and Ethernet) and port opening was done through "Port forwarding" settings pages in both of them. I did not even touch router's firewall settings.

    Tried opening 3 seperate ports for the ones mentioned and still no luck, just keeps saying partial conection, its driving me crazy, ive tried everything, but obviously im missing something, please help!
    Try to switch off all TLS support in client (and clear TLS port field too).

    I had problem like yours once and tried almost everything - only setting TLS off solved it. Don't know what it was.

    And again, thank for your prog.

    It works pretty fine for months without stopping - and no crashes and errors!

    But I have noticed strange behavior of speed limiter in v 1.1.0. It is not a trouble for me, but anyway...

    My max upload speed is 4 mbytes/s (LAN, Ethernet, slow home router). When I limit speed to 2048 kbytes/s, real speed falls for 300-500. I set 1000 - get 300-500 again. Set 3000 - and again 300-500.

    What do you think about that?

    First of all, thank you very much for your work and for your brilliant program! It works excellent, but I still need one thing...

    I have one share and 2 connections to different LANs - one is ADSL (2 MB/s up) and other is Ethernet (via home router, 100 MB/s).

    There are two hubs in two these LANs.

    As you see, there can be bad situation - users from one hub could take all free slots.

    Or another: I can upload to 50 users of second network simultaneously (some of second network users have very-very slow connections - 5-10-20 kb/s). But for first network (ADSL) 50 upload slots look stupid (250 kbytes/sec / 50 slots = 5 kbytes/sec!).

    Imagine, than I have 50 slots and 50 connected users - 25 from first LAN and 25 from second LAN. It is all OK for second LAN - speeds staying high enogh, but speed for each user of first network will be only 10 kbytes/sec. Try to download DVD with that speed - you will need 5 days to get it!

    Not only I have such troubles. There are another local users with big shares and two different-speed networks.

    Can you make a feature that allow to set number of slots on properties of each hub?

    I know that some other dc-clients have such feature, but I don't want even try its - I don't trust authors of that clients. :)

    Thank you.
