No, it is no part of this project, but there are posts about it because we don't mind people discussing other clients here to a point, maybe this is something we need to re-think if it's leading to confusion.

If you don't even have a vague idea how to do this, you can't. :)

I would have to argue that developers do have the right to tell users what is right or wrong. Developers make every decision related to the client, they don't/can't leave it up to the user. A lot of users won't realise that having 200 segments would be bad at all... If we put the option in for people do have 200 segments per file then people would use it not understanding the consequences. We don't want this happening, people using our client in such a way that is detrimental to the network.

Well, the favorites are not stored in the registry, I know that much. The registry just has entries related to being able to handle magnet:, dchub://, and adc:// links... which can even be disabled. Very strange...

Yep, just look at our join dates. Happy first birthday to Apex for tomorrow. :stuart:

I just sue whatever random numbers I press when settings up port forwarding. Generably I'd just advice people to use a random port, but not too high a number (>1000 though).

Thank you very much, glad it's been of help to you. [Apex-Support]Grogs Off-topic: One year tomorrow that this thread was created. :stuart:

I don't see why this would allow users to inflate their share as you would have to uncheck it/remove it from your share before you could add it again? Anyway, unless there is some problem with this which I can't see right now, this would probably be useful... As for a Pause/Stop button in the Indexing Progress window, I'm sure lots of users would appreciate that if it's at all easy to implement.

Nearest we get to some sort of credit system is private hubs I guess. Not all hubs (servers) are public but if you upload and share a lot then you are likely to be invited to such hubs.

Indeed, check out the Lua website if you like, for more info on what it can do.

Yeah, the problem is that we would have to have some way to distinguise between whether it checks the autoconnect or stop mainchat....

My mistake. If sending garbage works, then you may as well use it, whether or not your ISP is throttling your connection, you can't really complain based on the fact that your DC slows are slow/wavering. :)

Judging by what he said in the original post: "I've checked off the 2 settings in advanced to send garbage" I think he's done this. :)

Just have tickboxes, like we do for auto-connect.

Would be useful. :)

Assumably you'd be able to have three options; default/global settings, enable, and disable... Enable and disable would obviously override the default settings. Ideally you'd just change the Favorites window so there would be a column for which you'd just have a tick box for each hub (and then one at the top with the column titles) to disable the mainchat (or enable... whatever). It'd make enabling/disabling the mainchat a lot quicker/simpler than opening the Favorites Properties for every hub, and it would make more sense having the global settings in the Favorites window too, in my mind at least.

The fact that Apex is on a seperate partition to Windows shouldn't be a problem. Just sounds to me like your connection settings arn't set correctly. For a quick fix, change into passive mode and see if you can download from anyone. (You will only be able to download from active users, not other passive users.) If this works, then we know what the problem is, and you should refer to the following guide to get into active mode: How to get in active mode I've also moved this into the Support forum, which is where our Support team will be able to offer you any additional support if required.

Firstly, I've moved this into the Support forum, which exists for threads such as this, and I've changed the title a bit too. Now, onto your problem. To be honest I can't think of that much which would cause it, I personally would use seperate ports foor TCP and UDP in Apex, but I don't think that's the problem here. I doubt Peerguardian would be having this effect. Assuming you've done everything which you stated I can't think of much which caused it. Not sharing from an external harddrive or anything? Harddrive isn;t making weird clicking noise? ...if it's not a harddrive related thing, and you've done all you stated and this isn't just the people you connected to causing this... then I'm not sure what else it could be. (THe harddrive things does seem unlikely... but possible.)

I doubt that it is firewall related to be honest. I can't think of that much much which would cause it, realistically.

So give the user the choice? The ability to give the option to re-enter the name for the folder I just thought would be pretty simple, but if adding them into the same folder is too, then do that, or give the user a choice. When someone enters a name which is already in use by another folder ideally it would have a dialog box with 3 options; "Cancel", "Enter a different share" and "Merge within filelist".

(audio size in bits / duration in seconds) / 1000 = kbps. Using that I can roughly guess the length of a song/movie and tell if it is a high or so bitrate at least. I understand there will be a slight overhead on the file on top of that but that's not segnificant. I'm not saying these features should be put back in, but I can definatly tell the difference between a 32kbps file and a 128kbps mp3 pretty quickly, same with 128 vs 320. If it was implemented for video files as well then that would probably be rather useful, and so would some sort of File Quality calculation, like you mentioned.

If it was implemented, I doubt it'd be very reliable (due to going backwards and some features taking longer etc... it's hard to judge sometimes how far away the next release is). As such, I don't see that much point in it...

+1 for letting the user ever a different name for the folder instead.

If you're asking what I think you're asking for, then no... I highly doubt we'll create that, it's something you should maybe look to a third party programme for. I've used RegexBuddy to generating RegEx in the past, which is quite good, but I don't know of a free alternative.

No, if you have PeerGuardian running on your system already then you don't need it running within Apex as well. Would just be a waste of your resources? ...Hence the "Status: You don't need this plugin." caption at the lower end of that image.
