    As an author of the new skin, i had to design forum header very quickly, and as i was very busy i didnt really made it so well. So.. im gonna sort of unofficially start a 'design-a-header' contest. Winner gets his header 'hung up' on the site and maybe if Admins agree some prize.

    Terms are:

    * Header must be rounded corners, as is the current one.

    * Design wise it needs to look like the rest of the skin.

    * Height of the header should be the same, small deviations will be tolerated.

    * Header must be fluid, which means it has to look good on 800x 1024x and 1280x resolution. (which is not the case with the current one)

    * Also bare in mind that menus will go either in 1 or 2 rows, so desing accordingly.

    * To clarify what i mean resize the window and see how current header behaves. Design has to be made so it avoids this.

    (Ill do the coding but design has to be made so its dooable)

    The reason why im doing this is that in a week ill be having much more time to spend on this forums and ill start to fix and debug the skin.

    Hi I have a possible sollution!

    As you describe it, it does not seem to be a hub-side problem, rather zK++ has "ready" user commands entered in client's Settings. So you need to make the same for Apex, there is a topic already:

    http://forums.apexdc.net/index.php?showtop...;hl=raw+command

    http://forums.apexdc.net/index.php?showtopic=1567

    Good luck and feel free to ask if sg is still unclear.

    btw, who has some good "ready command sets" to include in Apex? :P

    You are getting more and more sarcastic with each day. [says no more]

    1. I dont burn stuff

    2. im keeping the 'ready to mount' ISO to share

    3. imagine this, im now playing Jade Empire (for the last month or so) this means i have an ISO (6.42GB) and im not keeping a duplicate RAR of another (6.42GB) more or less. and another (6.42GB) for installation. why cant you understand??

    6+6+6 No no no! Ill unrar, store the ISO for sharing and mounting and thats it, and whoever dislikes my huge 6.4GB file can [censored]

    My opinion is a Definative NO! (not even by option) Those hubs you are in, suck monkey balls. It will only encourage them to ban huge files even more. Everything gets bigger and bigger all the time - games/movies etc. And dont talk about RAR'ing them, i do not want to have my game .iso rared how the f*** will i mount it then. And im sure as hell not gonna have both a rared and unrared version. F*** em! The solution to the "huge file/long slot time takage" is PARTIAL SHARING and not bannage of those files.

    Thank you for your support, i really appreciate it.

    The skin was actually made few months ago, we staff (dare i call myself that) have been using it for a while now. Anyway, as im very busy i havent really had the time to de-bug it properly, so if you notice any bugs, anything inconspicuous and also IE, Opera, Gecko differences, feel free to post it here. Ill eventually fix it.

    I failed to see what you wanted to acomplish by this thread? Lee can already see (in CP) when the server load was high, hence why the blank white screen, if you probably refreshed the page would've loaded. Or if the load was still, you would again get white screen. Do we now report every meaningless thing?!

    Ohh and I dont wanna know what you feel. Dont make this into something.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to connect to the DC++ (0.698) client but receive a connection timeout message, no matter what file or hub I select. I'm not behind a firewall, but connect directly to a modem. I never had this issue under XP...

    Any ideas???

    Thanx

    If the setting you entered are excatly the same as in XP, it should work identically in Vista too. There's virtually no difference.

    That would only be usefull if "Dont delete filelists uppon exit" option is set by default. But then again it could be set the other way around for security reasons, or even beacuse HDD usage.

    Personally i have it set like that and my Apex folder now weights around 700MB, 300MB for hash data and the rest for downloaded filelists.

    Hehe, don't you assume it might be very private, requiring too high share (unbearable HDD volume for most Bulgarians at least)?

    Also Seeker, I did not get your thought about space used for sharing. Neither system allows you "save the half". In BT and DC you can share "files not requiring modification to run", and in both you can't (useless in DC) to share installed games. But unlike DC, its harder to find a torrent of installed game. Sorry, a little ugly explanation. :P

    Not quite suree what you mean. I dont mean about installed games. I mean in BT you need to keep a torrent which is a .rar'ed game. When extracted for instance it extracts to .iso or bin/cue, so in BT you need to keep .rar's to be able to seed and have a duplicate .iso extraction to play. In DC you just extract the rar's and share the .iso.

    I assumed, but you know that there's always some hope :)

    Ever downloaded a rared game/movie ? To use it, you have to unrar it. But you must share the .rar files, not the unrar-ed ones. So to keep uploading and still being able to play (the movie or install the game/app again) you have to keep both sources - the .rars and the extracted file. So you waste 2x HDD space.

    All depends on your share, you might even get suprized by an invitation :)

    Yes you have to waste 2x for torrents, not for DC, for DC you just keep the extracted ones, without rar.

    Why didn't you post the good sides of BT ^_^ ? I personally achieve much greater speeds with it, less leeching, the load is divided between users, not only the main seeder/s with 100%, i would say trackers are more reliable than hubs, i don't have to connect to 100000 hubs to download from all sources and maybe even more i cant think of right now...

    Personally if i had 10mbit/10mbit connection id never use DC aside from the community factor. For downloading i pimarily use BT but the seeding rules are killing me. Also i use a tracker which has about 5000 members, this is even less then 1 public hub. :lol: And i know what your thinking, but then again im on a hub that has 300 members with 300TB share. Dont you think this i badass compared to that tracker. I can get whatever i want.

    thats not my point, i dont like BT like DC, why i dont know, just like dc more :lol:

    1. BT needs creation of .torrent files for every file/pack.

    2. BT has an online often forum community. Easier to track down.

    3. BT often requires to seed 1/1, and enforces silly Hit-n-Run rules

    4. BT has a limited file life time

    5. BT requires to seed files, which in term means keeping the stuff unpacked in order to achieve a good ratio, which in term means clutter on your HDD's and unnecessary duplicates (when i donwload 5GB game, i need to seed it for like a week, so i unpack and play it, which means i need to waste 5GB for seed, 5GB for unpack.)

    6. When using BT for a while like end of the week i often need to look if files are 1/1 seeded, decide if i want to unpack and rearrange them thoroughout my HDD's or still seed. Wasting often 1 hour or more for organization, moving unpacking etc.

    1. DC shares files as are.

    2. DC has an online active hub based community. Harder to track down.

    3. DC does not require you to seed to 1/1 ratio, but often enforces REG rules.

    4. DC has an unlimited file life time, and allows users to share insane ammounts of data, imagine how many torrents seeding you'd need for that.

    5. DC just shares unpacked or packed files dependent on the mood of user (some games i have i may never unpack and just share wihle othrs i may unpack and still share without having unnecessary duplicates.

    6. When using DC i just download files, dont care if they're shared enough or not, rearrange them to whereever i want packed or unpacked and again "seed", while with torrent i cant touch them, need to stay as they are, also spliting my organization time by more then half.

    Do this points mean more then just faster speeds and constant "seeding", wasting god knows how many time. Couse we all have **** upload speeds, are we so expected to share to 1/1 when having 5mbit/512kbit. DC free's you of this limitations. Yes we know its not perfect, slot usage, 'maybe' slower speeds, misorganization of files (unlike BT which makes file listing available on teh web).

    This is a simple comparison of DC vs. BT network, one might find a similar one in favor of BT on some torrent site, but hey you decide.

    All may want it, but I guess money are needed. When smth is paid, it is hardly attractive. When smth is free, it gets easily overloaded or sux. And it sux to "suck for money" to provide smth that generally sux. (Sorry, maybe rude, but very short and simple). Exceptions like us and Google are rare. Damn, ApexDC++ and Google, sounds proud. :lol:;)

    Apexdc.net has banner adds ^_^ which in term finances the site. (and subscription)
