Hey !
I am an old DC++ user, coming back after years of not being here using this great client.
There is a thing that has allways bothered me.
In contrary to diffrent networks.. ed2k the most... here, most or all of the files are genuine... I mean that if you search for something that it has it exact name on the title you will download it, and not a pr0n movie.
Then, lot of people when download something, they change the name of the file to something else, not the original.
For this reason, I think, correct me if I am wrong, I can be downloading something from 12 sources when there are 100 different sources that have the same file with the exact the same size, but they changed the name.
Maybe i'm wrong, I don't know how the hash works.. the TTH ... if it hash includes info on the file name.. or just the size..
My request.. if it is posible in the network or in reality, to create a new feature, that will check files that have some of the parts of the original file.. for example :
If i am downloading LOST-XVID-S03E02-HDTV.avi that is 123456 bytes size, I want the program to be able me to download from someone that has this file Lost - season 3 - episode 2 and has the exact same size.
So, the algorithm, will search for keywords like LOST, 3 ,2 and the exact file size, so i will be able to download from other sources that have the exact same file, but just changed the file name.
What do u think ? or maybe it exists, or it is impossible ?
