Wrong. It's better to rename it, still. ^_^

Hey, Apex already does not work on Win 98, why care about Vista? :)

Actually, once Apex is set up, you need just to copy a backup to your D: drive or a CD or whatever. After a new Windows install (which btw happens often to simple users ) copy "Apex DC++" folder back to Program Files. Next, make a shortcut from from the exe to the Desktop. Apex does not need install, and this will work for all releases, except that there is some really great change. If you need to upgrade, just replace the old *.exe and *.pdb with the new ones. 2 Balder: He probably needs the guides in Russian.

Well, the rules and requirements for search and download, and even for entering the hub, are defined by the hub owner (if you speak for our TGO support hub, these are Sidetrack and Tony, they are usually in the hub). The answer I can provide is that many people need just HELP and do not need to search. And you can get help without registration (I mean read/write in MC and PM). Secondly, the hub is on very heavy load and it just can not handle all the users, if they have search rights by default. And the third reason may be, er, let's say share content-related. People need their privacy. Fourth, we try to maintain the hub's content clean so we check the file list of each new member. Without registration you will be able to share any garbage. About the zero install - just write down your user name and password for each hub. They are stored not only locally on your machine, your account is on the hub unless manually deleted by some OP for some reason.

Hm, of course Linksys sounds far more reputable, but let me doubt that they come from one and the same factory in China (no hard feelings to the Chinese goods, just the facts, right? ). So, in order this not to be a good for nothing post, I would suggest you to try both (if there is any money-back option) and choose the one which suites you best. Also you could borrow and try with a friend's one, you said that you have set up many such devices. And if you happen to have some old box, even 486, and like to experiment, you could plug in a 2+ LAN cards and play with the Freesco... But I guess you just prefer to buy a switch and finish the story. P. S. Are you sure there is no way to s*rew the ISP? Have you tried accessing through the WAN and the LAN ports?

Apex is the successor of PWDC. PWDC was just based on older DC++/SDC++ versions, that's why there is not such new settings at all.

http://forums.apexdc.net/index.php?showtopic=899 At least looks like the same issue. Read there.

But not too sneaky. Just CAREFULLY! flash the firmware again with the latest available on the site manufacturer. Remember to write down all the settings, of course.

Actually since usually 2+ users are downloading, this is not very accurate, so IMHO it is not very important to know. Mainly OPs need it, and they should prefer the shortest...

BTW, SMT, do you have some free time, do you enjoy Apex and coding? If yes, PM Crise or Lee. :)

My Trendnet actually has some option "My ISP provides more than one IP", so don't hurry to run into expenses...

I would prefer just L: ... [Max:4kB/s] is also shorter and ~ clear.

To clear up about the option I proposed - since the Search Spy should be 1:1 in all clients, Apex will just be allowed/disallowed to report IP to hub/Search spy.

In order to hide IP maybe...

And do some tracert, you may see where exactly you loose most of the time/packets.

Because smo can choose not to share the porn he has (OK, not quite true since the sharing of incomplete Dds), but he can't avoid the search to get it. Maybe an option "Show my IP in Search Spy" will solve this...

aninerbe, пожалуйста, пиши в отдельние темы для отделние предложения... А вот самая посленая идея сверху - прекрасная.

I think that the problem is more with your ISP. 1, he disconnects you too often, and 2, he has set too short period for IP expiry. Still you could try with the dyndns updater. http://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/

Same with me now, FF 2.0. Pls check.

Thank you for explaining instead of me. Cute innocent me... :)

I think it's extremely hard, since any user/s could go offline in any moment...

Yes, really good example. For me the BG translation of Windows is like "Рядовой Иванов, развернуть орудие влево и произвести залп по танку противника". Desktop is "Работен плот", what else to say. KGB guys? Nope, haven't seen them Of course, they are invisible and everywhere like... Hey, what's the nationality of Lenin & Trocki? AFAIK, not Russian.

Maybe the info can be saved on the fly, every X mins (like in Word for ex.), so some power failure will not destroy the data...

Admirations! For the English-speaking part of the community, amp is helping out. :)

Ouch, reading all this really lost some of my precious time, do not know about Crise, Lee and the others. But hey, as a tester it would be stupid to take side, I have the thing he asks for... The only 2 cents I can spend here: amp is from the people who like to suggest rather than splitting resources by creating smth new. And he does not like that in this case it would be better to create another mod, since it would mean that the current one has some disadvantages.
