    Hello,

    The user DMaL asked me via PM to ask you about the the following scenario:

    1. A passive user (X) tries to connect to another passive user (Y), hub is (Z).

    2. After Z checks the X's mode, it sees that user X is passive.

    3. Z turns to Y (like an active user would do), gets the data, sends it to X and vice-versa.

    IMHO, seen limitations by me:

    1. It is probably mostly hubsoft-related than client-related (but there may be smth necessary to change in the client also).

    2. Hub overload.

    3. Centralization.

    Thanks to DMaL for the idea, I think it will be good if this can be implemented.

    I thought that torrent clients download loads of parts. And store them in the order it gets them. A randomish order. And when the torrent is complete, it puts them into the right order.

    Maybe not, since there is an option "Put *.??? extension to temporary files" in most BT clients. So it is not hard to check out.

    Don´t know if it´s a error or not but it´s acting strange.

    Seen this twice, someone is dl tth from me and it dl it over and over again very fast (dl starts - done - dl starts - done.....) Well I find it very strange behaveure. Is this a bug or??

    I think no, Apex just gets the TTHs in order to look for the same files at another peers, some kind of "backbone" for the multisource. Or it is one and the same TTH?

    ...But practically we have someone who download with speed 40Kb and others with 2-7Kb (even though they do not download anything else)....

    This sentence left me with the impression that he knows all the downloaders and their speed limits.

    Agreed :D If you dont like how things are done in these clients, learn C++ and make your OWN! :)

    I do not say that 10 segments aren't enough for me. But, 10 segments may not be enough for someone else. IF the segment's number is a weak point, you just say: "Well, it's OK with me, so I don't care at all"?

    And my note was not intended as a criticism at all, but as a joke, see the emoticons. :)

    It's possible that the machine is too weak, but before knowing for sure, why changing anything? I also agree Winamp is not the best, but since I can afford to run it, and for the habit, I am used to it. If we have a user with a comfortably set (for him) PC, don't call everything crap. :)

    As for me, it's very much to my liking, but in a previous topic we ended with the decision that the protocol is still not good enough. Additionally, with a great share, one hashing for each hub looks like a nightmare for me, and probably waste of HDD space. But you can have two instances of the program opened. This reminds me to ask for the options "Allow multiple instances" and "Ask each time" (this is current state), which will save some time.

    hi! i found a bug...

    if i have a lot of windows opened (i.e. hub or search or favorites....) the list (that u can see in the picture) doesn't show me all the windows...

    I do not think it's a bug. The remaining tabs are normally hidden on the right. If you need to see all, set higher number of tab rows (mine is 8 on 17" monitor 1152 x 864) :

    He is not lazy! :) He is almost the only coder for the Win version (as far as I know), and he has a right to some private life apart from school and PCs. If a feature is well defined and argumented, it is usually implemented if possible (read: if not TOO much work). :) You could have explained that you want "noob" protection in your very first post. Since Crise is a programmer, he automatically thinks and gives counterpoints.

    * I am not saying that as Crise's advocate, I'm saying that as another Bulgarian, who thinks that suspecting someone (especially a developper of a free program) in laziness is quite unpolite.

    ** @ifmn - Sorry, I meant no offence, just structural criticism. If you disagree, correct me please. If you like, do it on PM, I already have made a mountain out of a molehill. :)

    it's not bug but feature that non-existing folders are removed on startup

    IAnd it does a re-hash when sharing the next time? Can it be done to only hide the folder from share, then on connect just to check for changes? I think that now the client does the same check on startup.

    The first thing I found with Google is: http://www.epinions.com/content_1392943236 . But you are probably on the next step already, so please try to install Apex DC++ on the second PC and let us know if there is any concrete problem. If you would like to have active mode on both PCs, you'll need to forward ports, either by a software like WinRoute on the first PC, or via a hardware router (this is my advice). The router may be more expensive, but it will save power ans wearing (no need to have the first PC switched on all the time) and if you invest more, better control.

    P. S. The FW may be "hidden" like in Windows before SP1. So please, let us know more about your network configuration and the OS of the two PCs.
