    whats up with the file list preview.

    The program does not get the whole list in one upload instead you have to click on the folder you want and it downloads preview for that folder and you have to do this for each folder you whant to see.

    If you select get file list from the menu when you right click the user it will get all of the folders.

    If a file is already in the users share and they try to download it again warn them and if they still want to download it again (and they have selected a different folder to download to) treat it as a file copy operation/download it from themself.

    How about a file preview feature? I know that for example VLC can play a partially downloaded file so how about a right-click menu option for "Preview file" or something along those lines. Again many of the torrent clients do this...

    A Client can intergate into av functions a protocol can not dont confuse the two

    I thought adc stood for apexdc++. My bad. If you guys want new users you might want to give them a little nicer welcome.

    Crise does selections though it comes with requierments that you actually do testing an not just in it for the latest version of apex imho we need more testers because some of the testers just seem to be in it for the latest version instead of the testing

    Does he give them testing scenerios or requirements or what?

    BM could have named it virtual hub instead or something its not torrent its a torrentlike system more KAD then anything else and sigh read the spec i provided in the link tired of explaining everything twice over for ppl that are too lazy to read for em selvs btw last stats from the DHT cloud was approx 10k users online so a congrats to BM :mellow:

    next step is some UDP Hole Punching and TCP Hole Punching techquies in both sdc and dc++ thats probly dcdevs next goal to implement.

    those were my suggestions -- take it or leave it.

    The function isnt even done yet this article is about how it would work if implemented so read before commmenting

    I know that. It was a suggestion for a feature to be addrd at the same time. They seem to be related.

    It should be off by default, otherwise you're violating the privacy of users without them even know about it. Or maybe when the application is launched, it explains that instead of your share being visible to the hubs you choose to connect to, it's now visible to everybody in a global network.

    If you are going to have it off by default don't bother -- not enough people will turn it to help grow the DHT network and very few people will take advantage of it.

    Also, does the client display that DHT is enabled so hubs have the option to disallow entry?

    If the hub blocks DHT people they are lame. Don't tell them.

    I think the main issue is people don't understand DHT -- including myself. So again I say this needs to be added -- torrent clients support it why not ADC? If DC wants to get anywhere you have to do as good as or better than torrent clients in terms of download speed and options. Why can't this just be implimented like torrent clients have it implemented? If the user starts downloading a file search the DHT network and see if anyone else has the file you are downloading so the download can go faster? In terms of sharing this would make it so the user already has to have the option to download it from their hub so if they end up downloading part of it from you so what. It's not like you can hide a file thats already out there.

    If you add a new favorite downloads directory and forget the trailing slash (/) in the directory path it doesn't put the file in the correct directory.

    e.g.

    Favorite Directory: C:\Users\Ben\Downloads\DC\Share\TV Shows\FlashForward.S01.HDTV.XviD-ScT

    File you download: FlashForward.S01E05.HDTV.XviD-2HD

    It would end up being called FlashForward.S01.HDTV.XviD-ScTFlashForward.S01E05.HDTV.XviD-2HD and placed in C:\Users\Ben\Downloads\DC\Share\TV Shows\

    I realize this is small but I can see how many people may never figure out why their downloads aren't going to the right place. The fix should be easy.
